Why Diverse Teams Are Smarter - New York
Striving to increase workplace diversity is a right business decision.
We invite you to join us to:
●Understand the origin of in-group and out-group phenomenon, and how it works in the brain
●Understand the dynamics of diversity in a team setting
●Learn practical strategies to create smarter teams
A study of 366 public companies found that those in the top quartile for ethnic and racial diversity in management were 35% more likely to have financial returns above their industry mean. In a global analysis of 2,400 companies conducted by Credit Suisse, organizations with at least one female board member yielded a higher return on equity and higher net income growth than those that did not have any women on the board. Further research has revealed another, more nuanced benefit of workplace diversity: non-homogenous teams are just smarter.
With our special guest, Patricio Ramal and Dr. Kamila E. Sip, we will dig into why diverse teams are smarter and explore effective strategies that can help organizations build more intelligent and more effective units. We will study the science behind team dynamics and unconscious bias.
We are excited to be hosting this event in collaboration with NeuroLeadership Institute.
