Can Artificial Intelligence Solve the Diversity Conundrum?

Diversity and inclusion are intrinsically linked to a company's business strategy. As more companies set audacious goals for the diversification of their workforce, talent analytics can support subjectivity with objective data-driven decisions that will make diversity goals a reality. There is no doubt that more diverse and inclusive workforces have a competitive advantage over those that do not. In fact, diversity and inclusion are intrinsically linked to a company's innovative strategy, enabling a more creative and agile organization. It is no wonder that one of Gartner's top 10 predictions for IT organizations in 2019 is that more than three-quarters of larger enterprises will set their diversity and inclusion goals toward a 2020-2022 timeline by the end of this year. As more companies set audacious goals for the diversification of their workforce, the spotlight will start to shift to their real-world metrics and whether they are actualizing their goals.
