This online course is designed to help managers and leaders understand the importance of acquiring the right talent to increase diversity in the workplace, as well as apply the necessary strategies to improve inclusion and business outcomes.
Talent acquisition was once a silo-based activity, they would be performed independently by human resources employees, however with changing times and a rapidly evolving inclusive business market it has become impertinent for organisations to keep up with the diversity and inclusive trend of the global business landscape and become more resilient to the changing business needs.
In 2019 the strategy and management consultancy firm McKinsey & Company published a study on why diversity matters in the business landscape. The study highlighted the organisations in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% are more likely to have greater financial returns compared to companies that don’t effectively diversify their workforce. The reason for this is simple diverse companies are better able to respond to complex global challenges requiring specific business acumen and perspectives diverse team members can provide.
