It’s no secret that diversity and inclusion are extremely important pillars for ensuring a collaborative, supportive, and successful work culture. In fact, 64% of high-tech workers believe that organizations with a diverse workforce are more likely to produce world-class innovation than those more homogeneous in makeup (CompTIA).
