Bridging the gap
A study by McKinsey shows that companies that have a gender-diverse leadership team outperform other companies in profitability. Another by Harvard Business Review shows that teams with gender diversity have higher productivity. While the context changes, the message is- gender diversity is good for businesses! However, implementing such diversity is not always easy. It might bring out subconscious biases and cause friction in the organisation. As companies are looking to diversify their workforce, the onus falls on HR professionals to make this transition smooth.
