Diversity brings new perspectives and those new perspectives drive improvements to a companyâs culture and output. Itâs that simple.
Link to a single study I found easily, but there are many more. If you want your company to be successful, it behooves you to diversify your workforce as much as possible on every possible axis.
Exactly. Clearly you are responding to a troll, but hereâs the real reason: Microsoft will receive a ton of applications for every job. Many people will be qualified, so they have to choose based on other factors besides âhow smart someone isâ (as if an interview or resume could communicate that).
Basically they want to create the best team. Different people from different places have different ideas, no matter how âsmartâ they are. That means that a global company needs to get a bunch of diverse opinions from diverse people, otherwise you might just miss something important.
The best companies are not the âsmartestâ but the most flexible and able to respond to new information. Different opinions help you achieve that.
It doesnât have to be based on smartness, just based on most capable person for the job.
I fucking hate really nuanced shit like this that I can see both sides of.
I always end up feeling dirty no matter which side I end up on.
I want clear black and white issues damn it
Not everyone you disagree with is a troll⌠And I never said people shouldnât be hired because they are of a different race, just donât hire SPECIFICALLY because they are a certain race. That is stupid. Hire based on skill, not race.
Love how many people here donât realize the racism in âletâs hire a black guy insteadâ because diversity. Your color of skin, your gender, your hair color, eye color etc shouldnât be a decider on who you hire. Thatâs equality. Having an entire office dedicated to doing just that is plain wrong.
