Q. How do DE & I efforts help industrial changes to succeed?
» As the automotive industry undergoes one of the most significant industrial shifts in its history including electrification, large‐scale factory transformation and the creation of next generation electric vehicles, DE & I remains essential to the business’ strategy.
A diverse workforce brings together a broader range of perspectives, experiences and problem‐solving approaches. This fuels the creativity and innovation that are essential for major industrial change, including the delivery of new technologies, new production methods and entirely new skillsets within the business.
Inclusive cultures also strengthen business resilience: research shows that organisations with inclusive cultures are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets and three times more likely to be high‐performing and companies with more gender and ethnic‐diverse leadership teams are more likely to outperform on profitability. DE & I allows us to attract and retain highly skilled talent based on merit who will enable our transformation which will in turn make us more responsive to and reflect the customers we serve.
