Forbes recently released Fostering Innovation Through a Diverse Workforce. The paper is based on an exclusive survey of 321 executives at large global enterprises ($500 million-plus in annual revenues).
One of the key findings is that, for global companies, diversity is no longer simply a matter of creating a heterogeneous workforce, but using that workforce to innovate and give it a competitive advantage in the marketplace. And as companies compete on a global scale, diversity and inclusion frequently have to shift, as different markets and different cultures have varied definitions of what diversity means.
