Companies all over the world are positioning themselves to adopt a more diverse workforce. When I was at Pepsi, plans were in place to achieve diversification from about 10 years out. They knew that there would be no ethnic majority by the year 2075, so they got the ball rolling early.

- Improves corporate culture
- Improves employee morale
- Leads to a higher retnetion of employees
- Leads to an easier recruitment of new employees
- Decreases complaints and litigation
- Increases creativity
- Decreases interpersonal conflict between employees
- Enables the organization to move into emerging markets

- Maximizes brand identity
- Reduces training costs
