Diversity needs passion. In a knowledge society, our people and what they know become even more important. If we are to attract a diverse pool, hire, motivate, train, develop, reward, promote, and retain the best people, we must nurture an environment where talented people of all kinds can thrive and do their best work. An inclusive workplace produces the best work. Diversity is more than a workforce development strategy; it is a business necessity!
