Diversity means valuing people's differences.
The things that make us different enrich all of us and contribute to the financial success of our companies. Many think of workforce diversity in terms of examining equal opportunity and affirmative action numbers within companies, something we must do because the law requires it. But diversity is more than that. Truly embracing diversity means wanting to support quality efforts within the workforce and provide the means for all employees to reach their maximum potential. From a business standpoint, I believe it is the economically sensible thing to do.
