Why Diversity Matters
  • Companies reporting highest levels of racial diversity in their organizations bring in nearly 15 times more sales revenue than those with lowest levels of racial diversity. (Source: American Sociological Review)
  • In the U.S., for every 10% increase in diversity on the senior executive team, earnings rise 0.8%. (Source: McKinsey & Company) 
  • While more women than men are enrolled in all U.S. undergraduate programs, as recent as 2012, just 18% of women earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering. (Source: National Science Foundation)
