Benefits of Gender Equality
I have already written about previous McKinsey reports on Gender Equality including “Why Diversity Matters” issued 3 years ago. The global awareness for inclusion and diversity (I&D) has only increased since then. Companies regard Gender Equality as a source of competitive advantage. A new McKinsey report has been published in 2018, “Delivering through Diversity” confirming that many successful companies regard I&D as a source of competitive advantage. The key finding of the report is that “The relationship between diversity and business performance persists. The statistically significant correlation between a more diverse leadership team and financial outperformance demonstrated three years ago continues to hold true on an updated, enlarged, and global data set.” The recent research is based on a set of over 1,000 companies.
