Diversity, inclusion and integrity
At Dean Carter, our work is driven by 3 core values: diversity, inclusion, and integrity.
We build our relationships on trust and transparency by being open, honest, ethical, and respectful towards our colleagues, clients, and candidates, and ensuring these core values are evident with all the people that we work with.
Diversity & Inclusion
5 key benefits of which Diversity and Inclusion can significantly affect an organisation’s overall performance.
1. Winning talent: Organisations that monitor the demographic profile of their workforces are better able to retain top performers while making sure that diverse talent isn’t lost.
2. Improving the quality of decision-making: Diversity brings multiple perspectives to the table during times when enhanced problem-solving skills and vision are needed.
3. Increasing customer insight and innovation: Diverse teams are typically more innovative and better at anticipating shifts.
4. Driving employee motivation and satisfaction: Research in Latin America showed that companies that are committed to diversity are 75 per cent more likely to report a pro-teamwork culture.
5. Improving a company’s global image and license to operate: Companies that can maintain or increase their focus on inclusion and diversity during crises are poised to avoid consequences such as struggling to attract talent or losing customers and government support.
How to foster an inclusive workplace
For companies looking to bolster inclusion and step up their D&I efforts more broadly, five areas of action stand out:
-
Ensure that diverse talent is well represented.
-
Strengthen leadership accountability and capabilities.
-
Be fair and transparent, enabling equality of opportunity.
-
Promote openness and tackle microaggressions, bias, and discrimination.
-
Foster belonging through unequivocal support for all the ways diversity manifests.
