Elevating the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace is just half of the equation for unleashing your organization’s innovative potential. A deeper, more structural change is needed. Many leaders associate innovation with experts, technologists and R&D professionals whose job it is to grow the company, but the truth is that innovation is about people. It’s about the game-changing ideas they are able to create by coming together in diverse and inclusive teams.
Through thought leadership, pioneering solutions and audacious corporate actions, Oando is progressively changing the continent's energy landscape. It’s proudly African yet delivering world-class solutions and blazing the trail for a new breed of African corporates.
When you have a diverse and inclusive workplace, you can unleash an explosion of ideas in your organization, but remember: hiring a diverse workforce isn’t enough. Employees from every group need to feel psychologically safe to bring their unique perspectives forward.
