How diversity makes teams more innovative | Rocío Lorenzo | TED

I work in a relatively large organization that currently has 37% women in senior leadership roles. Since July 2022 we have had a hiring freeze on everyone expect women and people of color. Since that time we have had higher staff turnover and lower satisfaction scores, because the organization has become more bias and prejudiced. What is so ironic about this talk and the speaker's industry, is that I have seen management consultants run a knife through organizations and recommend laying off hundreds of people who are simply not performing. Also very smart, qualified women with loads of opportunities often don't become management consulting partners or directors simply because they don't want to. They don't want to work those long crazy hours, and many prefer to have children and focus on other priorities. In many ways, women have a more balanced view of work and living.

This is the biggest fraud ever. Somebody call this lady and ask to speak to the man in charge

Incorrect .. it's difficulty makes us innovative not diversity...what a sham

What subject?

Oh well look , itz right there folks. On the graph ,a 20% jump 🙄 what a bunch of absolute nonsense 👎

Diversity is a con and destroys businesses. Its all a lie and its bad for you, like religion.

Ah yes of course. The Japanese, being a very homogenous population, surely lack creativity and innovation with no social influence around the world right?

Now let's be honest. Historically the UK is one of the most creative and inventive nations in the world. If not thee most inventive. It was all done before major diversity. Just sayin.

for diversity purposes she should have transitioned into a man halfway of the talk. Now it isnt 50-50 divided....

I hope someday that our country can realise the importance of diversity

Our nation is under attack, our children are under attack. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children with tuberculosis were released from U.S. government custody across the US into neighborhoods near you. The number of unaccompanied minors has more than dramatically increased in recent years, prompting the agency to ramp up the number of beds it has for the children. Federal law all these aliens are not allowed to enter the US. A lot of these aliens coming in are carrying contagious health conditions, things like chicken pox, scabies, tuberculosis, lice,” Federal law, immigrants are not allowed to be admitted into the United States unless they present documentation of vaccination against “vaccine- preventable diseases,” including tetanus, polio, and measles. We Need A Better America -- Not this corrupt seditious government run by delusional Demorats - We need Voter ID and no cheating voting machines PAPER Ballots only - We Deserve A Better America.

I prefer a radical meritocracy.

like many many others dei advocates, she fails to explain in details how gender, race, age and other factors that are not under a persons control, contribute to creativity and more revenue. this is pure ideology. where's the study that proves it? this woman can make me a diversity of sandwiches thank you very much.

Innovation is related to my genitals.. wow

The opposite of diversity is unity, jus sayin….

It's so wrong in so many ways...

Btw. It's easy to manipulate the outcome for the statistics with the questions itself. Don't trust a statistics you don't falsified yourself.

Diversity is a total scam, unless you're a minority. Why would you hire someone based on their race/nationality instead of their skills/experience? A candidate's race is irrelevant

what happens is existing culture gets ruined so new cultures are created because people want to escape the destructive diversity paradigm

A message to the woke: You can have diversity within the same ethnic and sexual categories you fucktards. That fact alone erodes your entire movement

Well, this aged terribly. Goes to show that TED is not an organization of smart people, nor do they invite smart people to speak. Unlikely that their audience can be all that smart either.

It takes time for leadership to grow and it can’t be at the same rate of education

LOL diversity hires are fucking up the economy right now. There's nothing innovative about hiring someone less skilled but has a bunch of diversity check boxes. Look at how much Disney stock has dropped because they are so dead set on diversity. This moron needs to read Dr. Suess's The Sneetches

Diversity: Racism in disguise

What a bunch of bullshit. This is communism, they don't have anything else to sell, it's a service industry. These people are now better than bolsheviks. When found guilty, their families will be tried for treason.

Unity>Diversity. Diversity isn't a strength. Unity is.

South Africa ESKOM 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 good innovative under the BEE diversity law

What this all has to do with diversity?

Ted talks are a joke. It’s the special olympics of wanna be smart people

If I want innovation I will hire the people whose ancestors figured out how to survive harsh winter climates and were forced to use creativity and invention for thousands of years to survive as opposed to those whose ancestors, for thousands of years, merely had to climb trees for coconuts. Neanderthal genes for the win.

Diversity is what its all about. My channel is so diverse you'll crap your pants.

5 years later -
"This too was a lie."

Wow.. Amazing

Diversity aka “anti-white “.

You hire the people who have the skills and are fit for the company. You dont hire them because of their color or gender

Doesn't the german example disprove the hypothesis? Publicly listed companies do better on average and 70% of them don't have female board member. Just to bring a counter point

Utility manholes should be renamed womenholes.

Competence aside! It's about diversity haha.

If I was in a group with a 29 year old women who spoke Swahili, a 70 year old man who spoke mandarin, and a 40 year old woman in a full burka who spoke Arabic—- would our diversity be a strength or a weakness

Anti white Jew script

How come there’s only an influx of browns into white countries and not the other way around? How many white cops and judges in Mexico, Africa, India and Asia? Didn’t think so. Ain’t fooling me ghew!

Diversity means anti-white male. Prove me wrong

Says her study does not say whether more innovative companies hire more women or whether more women cause more innovation. Then goes on to say throughout the rest of the talk that the latter is the case. Maybe there is a little bias coming into the talk.

The focus on senior management (who often do not drive innovation) is pointless. The most common job for high ranking women is... personnel director. This does not drive innovation or profits. But innovative companies, who are expanding, are more likely to have recently hired a new personnel director; who is more likely to be female.

To get a true assessment of innovation and diversity, she needs to look at a broad spectrum of companies, not just the FTSE 100 ones. This must include companies which fail, which are excluded from the FTSE 100. Does a more diverse workforce cause less successful innovation and make companies fail? No one knows and looking at FTSE 100 companies won't tell you.

Corporate social activism will end in tears.

Tomorrow is my debate on diversity

If I get a company I’m only hiring incontinent transgenders on my sales team.

diversity is a cover story to hide extraterrestrials in plain sight because humans don't actually have diversity across the universe so they pass themselves off as terrans, if you can't tell where someone is from or they look funny in an oddly specific way their probably an off-worlder. like steve buschemi, not a real human some type of lemur alien

I know many might disagree but I don’t think we should hire based on gender and race, but on skill and family needs. If a mother is needed more at home, then let her be home or work from home

t's nothing more than racial quotas. They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade. So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system. They in effect numbed down the elite schools. I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science. Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas. So much with a color blind, merit based society.

Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, all different names for QUOTAS! Let's stop the injustice of DIE.
