Today, modern employees are much more aware of the diversity and inclusivity of their workplace. In fact, it’s never been easier to recognize an organization that champions these values against one that does not.
Why does this matter?
According to a McKinsey study, respondents who feel very included in their organization are nearly three times more likely to feel excited by and committed to their organization.

Your employees are an integral part of your business’ operations every day.
After all, that’s why you hire them in the first place. Each team member should be contributing to overall success by adding value in their roles so that all of their combined efforts drive the business forward into the future.
Your employees’ productivity levels determine how much value they actually provide, and this is why it’s important to focus on ensuring that they are surrounded by a positive work environment which facilitates this.
However, it’s not just about encouraging them to be productive for short-term gain. It’s also about the long-term too, because when you have a productive workplace, this spills over into further benefits such as higher engagement levels, greater well-being and an improved culture.
Here’s why employee productivity is beneficial in the long-term for your business.

A Human Resources department is an integral part of a business’ overall success. Why? Because the HR team looks after the most important asset: your employees.
The human element of your business all works together to contribute towards achieving goals - however, people are not machines. They require support, encouragement, guidance and a strong culture to keep their productivity consistently high.
This is where the HR department makes the most impact.

How does someone measure the success of a business?
It’s usually thought of as the amount of sales they process, the number of deals they receive, their level of profitability, objectives achieved and so on.
These are the typical ‘go-to’ metrics.
However, something which often gets overlooked, and yet is crucial to overall success, is employee satisfaction and their enthusiasm for the job. Every business wants to experience success and we all strive to achieve it; but to get on the right path, it all starts with looking inside your business first.
So – how can you get the insights you need to get your business to the next level?

Diversity is a hot topic these days, it seems like everywhere you look issues of race, culture and equality are popping up. Yet the numbers tell a different story.

Harvard Business Review reports that diverse hiring practices have only increased less than 5% in the last 20 years.
Last week we started talking about diversity, and the importance of diversity in the hiring process. We are all individuals with different personalities, and those personality traits start to show when we’re put in teams and forced to work together. Certain people emerge as leaders, other focus on analyzing, and so on and so on.
To expand on this topic of diversity, we’re now going to talk about cultural diversity in the workplace.
