#RedBranchWeekly: Ideas for Inspiring Better Diversity Hiring

We all want better diversity hiring, and if you don’t, then you probably haven’t seen the statistics. So before we get too far into this post, check these out:

• 57% of employees think their companies should be more diverse
• Racially diverse teams outperform non-diverse ones by 35%
• Gender-diverse companies are 15% more likely to earn above-average revenue
• Ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to outperform their respective national industry medians
• For every 10% increase in gender diversity, earnings before interest and tax rose by 3.5 percent

You see the point. Organizations who welcome diversity simply do better than those that don’t. Not to mention, employees tend to be more engaged in their roles, too. With all this in mind, we rounded up some great resources from our partners at ClearCompany, WCN and Talent Tech Labs to help you get your organization’s diversity hiring on track.
