Catch Up on the Latest Research on Inclusion & Belonging
Diversity and Inclusion Linked to Corporate Innovation
Researchers analyzed data from Glassdoor.com reviews submitted by employees across 1,864 firms between 2008 and 2021. They also looked at firm-level patent data obtained from databases of previous studies. The purpose of the study was to measure the effect of a company鈥檚 perceived D&I on its innovation output.听 Via Glassdoor, employees were able to rate their workplace D&I from a scale of one to five stars. Innovation was measured using patents and patent citations.
Key Takeaway:听Firms that earn higher D&I ratings from their employees' perspective are significantly more innovative, in terms of the quantity, quality, and economic value of their patent outputs.听
