Estimated reading time:2minutesDiversity isn’t a new subject. Members of minorities such as Afro-Americans, lesbians, gays, bi-sexuals and transgender (LGBT) have been demanding equality for more than 50 years. Unfortunately, many of those minorities are not respected within their working environment even today. Let’s have a look at the advantages of diversity for companies.
Diversity within companies doesn’t only affect profits in a positive way, but also the company’s image. A diverse team is more creative, more productive, creates an enjoyable working environment, and has less problems with absence from work and employee turnover. “The reason is quite simple: people who feel accepted despite their individuality, do their jobs better and tend to stay with the company”, explains Chyntia Barcellos, diversity lawyer and consultant.
A company that thinks about the wellbeing of its employees by creating an open-minded and respectful working environment and also promotes the human rights of the LGBT community, not only supports those people directly but also the people who don’t want to work in a place where discrimination is taking place.
A respectful and integrative working environment that emphasizes diversity attracts talents who can make a difference. Employees who feel accepted in their individual characteristics and talents are able to tap their full potential.
Why strive for an atmosphere that respects diversity, is more productive, has fewer absences or employee turnover?
“It’s exciting for employees to work at a place where people respect each other, management supports equality and ethics, decisions are made based on performance, and the diversity and variety of all people involved is appreciated”, clarifies Chyntia Barcellos.
People, organizations, the economy and the whole society profit from diversity if they decide to live it. They expand their markets and rise their ethical standards on which they depend to be effective in the long run.
Chyntia Barcellos is specialized in homosexual rights. She’s a member of the commission for sexual diversity of the Federal Council of the Brazilian bar association, and General Secretary for homosexual rights at the Brazilian Institute of Family Law
