While companies seem to have come a long way in spreading awareness about the various issues in workplace discrimination, there remains plenty to be desired in the actual ensurance that diversity is indeed present where we work<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 2019, and it is fortunate that companies and organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the value of having a diverse workplace, as the benefits go beyond meeting certain legal and moral obligations.<\/p>\n

For one, employers that commit to recruiting from a diverse workforce have a larger pool of applicants to choose from, allowing them to find more qualified candidates but using less time and resources. On the other hand, those who don\u2019t recruit from diverse talent pools risk missing out on qualified candidates, and spending more time and resources as they do.<\/p>\n

It is also advantageous to an organization to be able to think with a wider breadth of perspectives, through professionals with a comparatively wide range of ideas, skills, and experience. This ultimately helps their bottomline, as employing people who can contribute different things to the company often means more things are simply accomplished.<\/p>\n

Indeed, promoting diversity in the workplace should be a top goal of any employer, recruitment consultant, or HR professional. However, many companies unfortunately still fall short in meeting these goals, and are either \u201ctoo busy\u201d to implement diversity initiatives or, worse, aren\u2019t even aware that aspects of their company culture are contradictory to it.<\/p>\n

While there surely is plenty of work to be done, ensuring diversity is real in the workplace isn\u2019t as grand an undertaking as it seems. Speaking at the first ever CareerCon held last July at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati, QUIDDITY Usability Labs CEO Denise Haak shared that the devil is in the details.<\/p>\n
