  1. From the reading entitled “Why Diversity Matters” many questions surrounding diversity arise for me. The first one being why do gender and ethnically diverse companies produce better results financially. Because of this, how do we further diverse companies so that most companies are outperforming and doing better financially than they did in the past. Although this is a hard task to do, it can be done over time. According to the article, for every 10% in recital and ethnic diversity, the company sees a 0.8 in earning before taxes and interest. This number should catch the eye of a lot of companies and as a result, hopefully diversify not only the workers, but leadership as well. In the other reading talking about culture, I noticed that using the quotes of various people, culture plays a huge role in our everyday lives. Katanga’s quote stood out to me which read “culture is how organizations do things.” I thought this was interesting because there are a bunch of different cultures in companies so I was wondering how do organizations go about this.<\/li>\n
  2. In the article “Why Diversity Matters” there were a lot of intriguing quotes. The one I would like to talk about is “Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15 percent more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians.” This statistic\u00a0<\/span>raises\u00a0a bunch of questions for me. One being why don’t more companies diversify their organizations if the numbers show drastic improvements? In\u00a0<\/span>addition, what do people outside of these companies think? all these statistics show that with less diversity, it is harder to succeed and the same amount of financial returns. In a lot of companies, you need people of many different backgrounds and cultures to connect to all the customers which is why these diverse companies show such an improvement. Although it may be difficult and take more time, these statics show that is is well worth it and companies should be changing their hiring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
