National Diversity Awareness Month

April is National Diversity Awareness Month. Since 2004, the month has been dedicated to making people aware and appreciative of diversity. To celebrate our differences and similarities and to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other.

The workplace is a microcosm of the community around it. Diversity is easier to achieve in a smaller, more controlled environment, and results are more quickly evident. And the results are plentiful, from improved recruitment and retention to increased innovative and profits.

“Smart teams will do amazing things, but truly diverse teams will do impossible things,” observed Claudia Brind-Woody. Brind-Woody is a managing director for IBM in the U.K. She is also a diversity and inclusion champion and was a member of the inaugural Channel Futures DE&I 101.
