Lately, there have been many discussions about the significance of having a diverse community in professional workplaces. Hence, we opened a pool on this topic for our LinkedIn followers so they could share their thoughts on it.
The result of the pool was diverse itself. 11% of voters have not thought about this topic, whereas, up to 32% of them believe the workplace environment ought to be diverse. However, the majority of our followers, 57%, do not find that factor too important.
Nowadays, many people choose workplaces based on its diversity of people. Young workers prefer to engage in projects with people from all around the world so more innovative ideas come through. Learning about other cultures help employees with keeping their minds open and being creative which is fundamental when a company needs solutions or alternatives to business problems. Having employees from various backgrounds can also create a friendly environment which would eventually result in great team projects.
Nevertheless, the most significant factor is just being open minded and welcoming towards new ideas and cultures. If a workplace constantly promotes support towards new ideas and projects, employees will learn how to be global and search for solutions in many parts of the world.
