Article: Diversity in the Boardroom
It is clear that most organizations and businesses favour diversity and more specifically, favour of diversity in the boardroom.
However, although 91% of companies surveyed feel it is important, only 18% of those have a diversity policy.
It only makes sense that unless there is policy in effect there is unlikely to be any meaningful change. The task of preparing and implementing a diversity policy comes with its own challenges.
Simply knowing and acknowledging that diversity is required in the workplace is not enough to draft generic policy. There must be a realistic plan that is clear on how to implement the desired changes.
