TRANSCRIPT
Organisations also face greater requirements to report progress on diversity and inclusion, whether that be from regulators such as the Australian Securities Exchange or the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, in government tenders, or from increasingly discerning employees and customers.
Effective management of workplace diversity and inclusion is clearly linked to improvements in organisational performance, effectiveness, profitability and revenue generation.
Leaders in managing diversity and inclusion continue to demonstrate that effective diversity and inclusion management leads to significant business benefits.
Harnessing diverse talent in all its forms is going to be essential to meeting the challenges of skill shortages, global labour market competition and an ageing population.
Organisations need to look beyond traditional ways of accessing talent to generate the innovation and performance needed to meet these challenges.
Attracting and retaining talent is becoming increasingly difficult and more organisations are finding that their talent pipeline does not reflect the breadth and depth of capabilities that will be required to deliver on medium and long term business plans.
