As the workforce becomes more diverse, so do the expectations around workplace culture. Today’s talent isn’t just looking for respect—they want to feel valued, comfortable, and celebrated where they work. In our latest guide, Hiring the New Majority: A Guide to the Future of Talent, we’ve created a roadmap to help you and your company become leaders in building a truly inclusive team.
Start at the Source
Recruiters can no longer stick to the traditional headhunter role—they need to be champions of diversity. To truly build inclusive teams, start by ensuring your recruiting team reflects a variety of ages, life experiences, and ethnic backgrounds. Authentic excitement and commitment to creating culturally diverse teams are essential for attracting top talent.
Keep Them Engaged
Attracting top talent is one thing—keeping them is another. Once you’ve built a strong, diverse team, how do you ensure they stay happy and engaged? With 47% of BIPOC employees reporting workplace discrimination, it’s crucial to create an environment where multicultural employees feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Tackling bias head-on is essential. Open lines of communication through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can make a huge difference.
Mentorship and career advancement are also key. BIPOC employees should have clear paths to leadership and decision-making roles, not just be included as tokens. Ensure your leadership team reflects the diversity of the workforce to advocate for and represent a range of perspectives.
Boost the Bottom Line
Diversity in the workplace isn’t just a nice-to-have—it drives results. Companies with above-average diversity see a 19% boost in revenue on average. Additionally, making diverse hiring a top priority attracts better talent. 45% of Gen Z job seekers cite workplace diversity as a key factor.
