Diversity means variety. In the corporate context, this means taking into account and integrating a broad spectrum of experiences, perspectives and knowledge in the organization. This also applies to (socio-)demographic characteristics, because diversity is more than just gender. The concept of diversity also includes ethnicities, age or origin.

Science clearly shows that companies benefit from diversity. However, more and more does not mean better and better. Diversity must be balanced and managed otherwise performance, creativity and resiliance can suffer.
