The diverse and inclusive team contributes to the well-being of employees

Diversity & Inclusion is one of the most important trends in people management today. More and more companies employ employees from previously overlooked groups (e.g. mature people, foreigners, or people with disabilities), are open to new ones (e.g. atypical employees), and make efforts to develop an inclusive organizational culture. In his latest report, "Be yourself!" Well.hr presents the results of research on the impact of working in a diverse and inclusive team on employee wellbeing. The report's partner is PwC.

“We asked people what diversity means to them and what they think diversity is all about in our company, which helped us identify the topics we should focus on: inclusive leadership, gender equality, LGBT +, internationality, and alternative careers. The topic of employing people with disabilities was also very important to us," Jolanta Chmielecka, HC Senior Manager at PwC Polska, said.

Salesforce’s research, cited in its Well.hr report, shows that if employees feel that they can be themselves at work, they declare pride in their employer almost three times more often. In companies that support diversity, employees perceive themselves better, are happier and happier. In turn, happier employees are open to diversity and willing to include and support their colleagues.
