• Companies in the top quarter for gender diversity are 21% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians.
• Greater gender diversity on the senior-executive team corresponded to the highest performance uplift: for every 10 percent increase in gender diversity, earnings before interest and taxes rose by 3.5%.
• Inclusive cultures have 22% lower turnover rates due to increased morale, opportunity and equality.
• People from different backgrounds and genders have different viewpoints, ideas, and market insights, which enables better problem solving ultimately leading to superior performance.
• A diverse workforce provides easier access to resources, multiple sources of information, and wider industry knowledge.
• A diverse workforce allows organisations to serve an increasingly diverse customer base.
• Gender diversity helps attract and retain talented women.  Companies cannot afford to ignore 50% of the potential workforce and expect to be competitive in the global economy.
