Businesses Say Diversity Is Key To Future Success (from www.wired-gov.net)

Businesses in London and the UK can benefit and prosper if they adapt and address an increasingly diverse social mix, according to research findings. Diversity Works for London undertook research with top executives at thirty London-based companies to see how leaders of large businesses view diversity as a factor in the success of their organisations. The results present a compelling business case for diversity. They show:

- Over three quarters (77%) of business leaders surveyed said that the future success of business lies in having a diverse workforce

- Almost two-thirds (63%) felt that without a diverse workforce, business in London can’t survive

- 97% said that diversity practices are good for business and 87% said that workforce diversity makes financial sense because it increases opportunities for business with new, diverse customers

- 80% agreed that businesses in London should have a diverse workforce to reflect the capital’s diverse population
