Investors Need Data to Make Diversity a Reality

Diversity of perspective is a key element in deciding how to balance business risks and opportunities. For investors, companies, and employees alike, diversity makes a difference—but it takes data to know how much work is ahead. When data is available and accessible, companies manage the issue more closely and show some progress. Companies and investors must also be willing to ask tough questions about what they’re doing to attract and keep a diverse workforce at all levels.
