   racial inclusion initiative

building business on the foundation of equity

Research shows that organizations with inclusive corporate cultures attract the best and brightest talent and experience lower turnover rates. In an inclusive environment, employees with diverse cultural backgrounds are a vital part of the organization and have equal opportunities to contribute to the organization's success.

The innovators and leaders of tomorrow represent a broad spectrum of cultural diversity. To remain competitive, today's managers must create inclusive environments that can secure and retain this significant talent pool.

The YWCA Racial Inclusion Initiative helps corporate leaders leverage workplace diversity to gain a competitive advantage. Through workshopscorporate consulting and community advocacy, the Racial Inclusion Initiative offers tools to create work environments where everyone is valued.

"When an organization creates an inclusive culture, it serves its constituents in a culturally competent manner. The organization can also use its employees' diversity of thought to retain and gain market share."
