Inclusivity, the Value for the Organizational 'Bottom Line'

Abstract

Organizations often see inclusivity as a problem to be overcome with negative budgetary impacts. This paper reviews recent research indicating the opposite can be true. With cultural understanding and emphasis upon the value of diversity, an organization can enhance the work place experience and expand the capabilities of both management and workers. As globalization advances and migrant populations grow, a commitment to inclusivity can also greatly expand and broaden an organization’s marketplace penetration.
