I’m pretty sure all firms do but it won’t happen overnight

Do you think forcing diversity is something a company should practice ?

Forcing diversity....

I have managed some of the most diverse team. I think diversity should happen naturally based on the a persons experience and capabilities. Does it make sense to have performance measures that are based on how diverse a teams composition vs the team’s skill regardless of their background ?

I suggest separating the arguments for diversity into the selfish performance improvement argument and the moral societal argument (I’m sure there are others too).

On the performance side, I’m not yet convinced that there is much of a benefit regarding gender and ethnicity after scanning through some research on the subject cited by our firms. I do see contextual benefits to diversity in many cases though. For instance, I believe that health and fitness companies should attempt to hire obese people as these people may not be naturally drawn to work in the health/ fitness industry. Obese people could add key perspective in all areas.
