When Amrita Ahuja joined Square as CFO, CEO Jack Dorsey said he viewed her lack of a track record in fintech as an asset -- it would push his executive team to think differently. (Square’s profits have more than doubled since.) #diversityandinclusion #leadership #business

Does diversity = profitability? Absolutely. Founder and CEO Desmund Adam's latest piece in Forbes: Council Post: Harnessing The Power Of Diversity For Profitability ecs.page.link/gzCm7 #diversity #profitability #business

Diversity and inclusion mean exactly that. A diverse mix of people included in the executive suite. It really is that simple. #diversity #executiverecruitment #leadership

We advocate diversity and inclusion because it’s proven that more diverse teams are more profitable teams – up to 33% higher.* Read the research yourself from Deloitte, McKinsey, Boston Consulting. #teams #diversityandinclusion #recruitment

Here’s something you won’t hear from any other executive recruiter. Don’t hire us. #diversityandinclusion #executiverecruitment ecs.page.link/hRK3X

It’s not a great resignation; it’s a great reshuffling. Workers aren’t just quitting, they’re leaving for better opportunities. How can you ensure that your best and brightest see opportunity with you? #dei #executiverecruitment #greatresignation

Inclusive and diverse executive teams drive profitability because inclusive and diverse executive teams bring diverse viewpoints to solving the challenges facing the business. #diversityandinclusion #business #executiverecruitment

There’s a right way and a wrong way to go about building a diverse workforce. Any attempt to increase diversity needs to be inclusive of all stakeholders – including the established power structure. #diversityandinclusion #executiverecruitment

To succeed in DEI, stop recruiting for diversity. Start recruiting for inclusion, including white men. Diversity should NOT be a quota, but a conscious effort to eliminate bias. True inclusion is the path to success. #diversity #inclusion #recruitment

“Culture fit” is code for “more of what we have.” It’s natural to surround ourselves with people like us. And the result is a room full of look-alike, think-alike people. Not fertile ground for breakthrough ideas. #culture #recruitment #diversityandinclusion

Watch how you speak to potential employees. That DEI is good business is not the message potential employees want to hear. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
