Why Diversity Inclusion Allies Are Vital to Your Success and the Success of the Whole Organization

1-If not stopped, exclusionary, discriminatory, and inappropriate or offensive behavior imbeds itself in the whole culture and becomes the norm.

2- It will be difficult to attract and hire the best people. The Internet is powerful.

3- The marketplace is diverse, and it’s easy to lose market share if your workplace gets branded unwelcoming for people who are not from a particular demographic.

4- If you are an ally to other people, they will support you when you need an ally.

5- Learning to be an ally will break down barriers between people, and create environments where people share resources, expertise and ideas. When that happens, you create an inclusive culture where people love to do their best work, and provide stellar customer service.
