WHAT DO THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
STATISTICS SAY?
• Racially Diverse Teams Outperform
Non-diverse Teams by 35%
• One of the biggest things stopping
managers from implementing
diversity is that they’re afraid that
introducing people who may not
agree with each other will hamper
productivity. For those companies, we
offer the above-mentioned stat.
Because diverse teams outperform
non-diverse ones, companies should
actively try to engage with diversity
initiatives as soon as possible to make
sure they’re implemented, instead of
trying to hamper them out of fear.
• Google’s Tech Staff is
Only 4.8% African American
• Diversity is everyone’s problem. Being
a big company doesn’t mean you’re
excluded from needing diversity.
Along with that stat, only 1.1% of
Google’s tech staff is Hispanic, and
only 33.1% are women. When the
number of college IT graduates is
several times that number, it shows
how little even larger companies take
diversity into account.
 WHAT DO THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
STATISTICS SAY?
• Teams Where Men and Women are Equal Earn
41% More Revenue
• Another stat that supports moving toward greater
gender diversity. When companies employ more
women, they’re able to take advantage of a greater
wealth of perspectives. This, in turn, causes
companies to have more angles from which to
tackle big business issues. The results are faster
solutions, more creative thinking, and higher
overall revenue.
• Caucasians Received 50% More Callbacks Than
Those from African American Descent
• Stats are from Clear Company
• Blind Applications Lead to Five Times More
Women
• It sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to say that,
but in reality, this stat demonstrates just how few
women are considered in male-dominated fields.
In Orchestras, when companies switched from
auditions where they could see the candidate
to blind auditions, the percentage of female
members in the orchestra jumped from 5% to 25%.
Similarly, institutions using a double-blind method
to review scientific studies have similarly increased
the number of women who get published in
journals. This is good in adding diversity to your
team while also helping your team perform overall.
In a large study of more than 4,600 people, teams
that welcomed more women performed better
than those with fewer or no women.
