Australia, Japan, and India entered lockdown at different times and under very different circumstances. Here’s how consumers in these countries—and elsewhere—assess their prospects.
Providing employees with the latest digital skills will be critical to company success throughout this decade. It could also be a secret weapon in the struggle for gender diversity.
Diversity is not just a moral imperative—it’s also a business imperative. Companies that increase the diversity of their workforce on multiple dimensions, and create an environment that welcomes new perspectives, boost their capacity for innovation and their ability to withstand the unexpected.
AI will disrupt current employment patterns. But if applied wisely and proactively, it could boost gender diversity and enhance opportunities for women in the workplace.
Company leaders must acknowledge their blind spots, respond to the needs of diverse groups, and focus on the measures that really work.
To build the digital workforce that the future demands, companies must recruit—and retain—women.
Want to generate inventive new ideas that can win in the market? Build management teams comprising people with the widest possible range of backgrounds and perspectives.
To begin to achieve gender equality, companies must: understand why diversity matters and commit to closing the gap from the top down, find what is most important to employees and concentrate efforts there, change men's and women's mindsets on the need for women in the workforce, and reform the work culture.
Building a diverse workforce is just the start. Organizations must then be able to select and amplify the best ideas that emerge from it.
