Fostering an inclusive, diverse culture is critical for any organization, but in tech, it presents an especially pervasive problem. Why is diversity and inclusion (or D&I) so important? For starters, research has shown that more diverse organizations are more successful. One study, conducted in 2014, found that companies with women on their executive boards outperformed companies with all-male executive boards, and gender-diverse management teams showed superior returns on equity, debt/equity ratios, price/equity ratios, and average growth. How can your organization benefit from D&I? Diversity expert Sheree Atcheson shares some of her favorite resources to help you find out.
