Impact of diversity and inclusion within organisations

Published on 17 May 2017

The available evidence on the impact of diversity on
individual/team/organisational effectiveness in organisations is inconclusive and mixed as to its beneficial and negative outcomes. The majority of the literature seems to focus on private firms; who have
reaped business benefits from equality and diversit
y, but not all firms, in all contexts, at all times. Knowledge about how, when, and why diversity and diversity management affects effective performance and organisational outcomes is limited.
