More Women in Business Means More Cash for Women and Their Employers

ways women talk differently

Did you know that based on a recent research study from McKinsey, the most ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to outperform the least ethnically diverse companies.  As well,  Catalyst research shows that companies with more women on board statistically outperform their peers over a long period of time.  Clearly, more women in business is good for women and employers.

Higher performance means more success for both women and the companies for which they work.  That’s good news for us ladies! This is particularly exciting for younger women who are entering the workforce and mapping out their career goals to ensure their future success.

So how do you, as an employee, drive diversity in your workplace? Meet Dr. Michelle Dawson, Ph.D, and Business Strategist at TONE Networks and Val Grubb, principal at Val Grubb & Associates and Career Coach at TONE Networks. These women were brought together by TONE Networks, an online microlearning platform that provides women with the learning and development resources they need to grow professionally and personally. Ms. Career Girl and TONE partnered to ask these powerful women to share their wisdom on diversity and inclusion, with a focus on how it relates to younger women in the workforce. 

Val Grubb, an expert in Human Resources, suggests three ways to enhance diversity efforts at your company.

Be a Leader of Diversity & Inclusion  

Talk about these important diversity issues with your company and then lead by example. If your organization lacks programming, look for ways to host conversations on how to be more open, ask for or provide training. Take the lead in trying to help the various generations get along better in the office.

Sell Your Leadership on Why Diversity is Vital

If you’re in a company that doesn’t particularly promote diversity, point out the diversity disparity.  Then sell them on what needs to be done.

Mentor More Seasoned Employees

Look around for your more seasoned employees and mentor them, if they need it, so they can be more open to new ideas from diverse talent. Provide constructive feedback and coaching to employees who may be from a different generation and possibly more reluctant to change.

We asked Dr. Dawson for her advice to young women who are seeking a more inclusive work environment.  “My recommendation for young women is to recognize this is an issue.  Embrace it, and find ways to use it to their advantage,” said Dr. Dawson. “Of course, being different, alone, doesn’t provide leverage. However, when diversity is combined with skill, talent and a consistent positive performance within a company, it can really impact change.  Communicating to leadership about how they believe their unique contributions as a member of a diverse population within that company can help the company’s positioning, branding and profitability. It’s all about communicating value and how it benefits the company.”
