“Inclusive companies—whose employees with diverse backgrounds in age, gender, race, sexuality, and ability reported positive workplace experiences—posted a 14.4% gain in stock price between 2007–2009 while the S&P 500 declined by 35.5%. After the Great Recession, inclusive companies’ recovery outperformed the S&P 500’s by nearly four times.”

According to AARP, the World Economic Forum, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and a cadre of multinational companies, a multigenerational workforce “strengthens resilience, elevates productivity, unlocks markets, sparks innovation, and boosts GDP.”
