Why You Should Care About Diversity

You lack diversity on your leadership team.

You don’t have enough underrepresented minorities on your leadership team.

You don’t have enough of them around the table when you’re making decisions.

In healthcare, all across the country, the leadership of hospitals and healthcare organizations don’t reflect the diversity of the patients that they serve.

Women make up 78% of employees at healthcare organizations yet there are barely 22% in a leadership role above chief nursing officer.

There are many challenges in organizations with gender diversity.

It’s even more complex when it comes to underrepresented minorities.

African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities make up 50% of the patient population at most hospitals, but less than 9% of executives around the board table.

You have a diversity problem in your organization.

You’ve got to find a way to fix it.
