Attracting, inspiring and developing employees is crucial to successfully building and transforming companies in the knowledge society. Diversity is both a challenge and the key to success: hyper-diverse teams are characterized by a wide variety of skills, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. To build such teams, it is important to attract talent from different functional areas, social classes and geographies. This can be achieved through a targeted recruitment policy that focuses on diversity and inclusion.
Companies from all sectors and industries benefit from the targeted recruitment, inspiration and development of talent in hyperdiverse teams. More innovative solutions are found, a wider range of customers are reached and competitiveness is increased. It requires conscious effort and an open mindset, but the benefits are worth it as they lead to a stronger and more inclusive organization. This leads to better business results through higher quality, more sales and better growth.
This specialist book is aimed at managers of all company sizes and industries and explains how the recruitment, promotion and further development of employees can be organized in times of a shortage of skilled workers. The book helps managers in the transition from "stable smell-based" attitudes to new organizational forms that understand agility, diversity and the complexity of employees as a success factor.
