Diverse Teams as the Foundation for Inclusive Products and Services
Getting feedback and keeping in mind issues facing disadvantaged groups are essential, yet an undiverse team is never likely to know all the questions to ask or the experiences to consider. An inclusive organization, on the other hand, with multi-background employees, is more likely to be truly innovative and come up with products and experiences for all individuals, not just the presumed majority.
Our speakers will cover the following issues during this panel:
- How diverse teams can help enlarge your company’s customer base
- How inclusive products can boost customer loyalty
- What ethical issues to consider in developing inclusive products and services
