Across all industries, there is a trend towards ensuring more diversity and inclusion in the workplace. But for Leadership & Talent Development graduates, it is of particular importance. For every top company like Apple or Amazon that cite diversity as a core value, it’s up to inspirational leaders and pioneers in talent development to ensure that they are upheld.
How happy an individual is at work has a direct impact on their output and influences the company’s overall performance. As more studies are published, it’s becoming clear how important this effect is for business outcomes, with companies placing more of an emphasis on building a positive employee experience.
The centrality of talent development and human-centric leadership has shifted, becoming more closely related to a company’s overall performance. In this context, professionals with knowledge of human behavior and talent management are excelling in roles at the strategic level, while cultivating talent is now an absolute requirement for today’s managers.
