With an average $3 Billion spend annually on human capital, and with that capital increasingly becoming more diverse, companies will, if they haven't already, be clamoring to use hard data, ROI, competitive advantage, and shareholder value as the foundations for decision making around diversity and inclusion. Multi-cultural marketing and tapping into an increasingly diverse workforce to assist with target market efforts could help your organization reach groups that before may have been overlooked. Doing this effectively may also improve diversity retention to provide additional value to your organization. Subject matter experts from Hewitt will cover a methodology and framework to predict an increase in shareholder value through diversity, forged from a database with over 20 million people. Bring your Chief Diversity Officer and your Human Capital Analytics team to this webcast!
