Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Home > About QLK > Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
As a firm, we are committed to – and take pride in – helping our clients build more diverse teams and inclusive cultures. Recent studies have shown that, although progress has been made, companies are still falling short of their potential when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). When new clients direct us to ensure that the slate of candidates we present to the search committee is “diverse,” we first seek to understand what DEI means to their organization on a variety of levels.
We have found that DEI cannot be a mere compliance obligation for companies; they must advertise the potential commercial benefits, but only if DEI is truly embedded and internalized in their “DNA.” Studies show that organizations that have a diverse workforce, an inclusive environment, and a proactive, authentic approach to DEI experience a variety of benefits. These organizations are better positioned to increase employee engagement and creativity, compete on a broader scale, understand their customers, empower their workforce, strengthen brand awareness, innovate, and improve financial performance.
