Editor's Notes

  • #8 Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35 percent more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians. Methodology: This study comprised of 366 public companies across a range of industries in Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This research looked at metrics such as financial results and the composition of top management and boards. Source: McKinsey
  • #9 Quality of life: companies must pay attention to this in order to develop a renewal resource for highly talented associates, suppliers, and distribution partners Societal oppression and bias: undermines well-intended policies, practices, and human performance
  • #13 This graph shows the percentage change in diversity from 2001 to 2006, 2006 to 2011, 2011 to 2016, and 2016 to 2021. NH’s diversity is INCREASING. 2) New Hampshire has the lowest minority population count, but it is increasing at the highest rate in comparison to MA, RI and CT since 2001 3) EMSI projects that this trend will continue for the next 5 years as well (2016-2021 projections illustrated above) 4) A reason for NH’s comparatively higher growth rate is due to the fact that their population count is smaller, for example…a change from 5 to 10 is a 50% increase. These population growth statistics, however, show that NH diversity is in fact increasing.
  • #14 Now, looking at Hillsborough county where Nashua is located…we see that the White non-Hispanic population will actually have negative growth by 2025 (a loss of 2,156 in total count), while the White Hispanic population count will increase 12% by 2025 (2,664 in total).
  • #15 The same pattern can be seen in the following counties… (move quickly through these slides) As we can see here, in the counties highlighted, the white non-Hispanic population is actually expected to decrease at a faster rate than other ethnicities. We should also pay close attention to the growth of both black and white Hispanics in these counties as well.
  • #16 The same pattern can be seen in the following counties…(move quickly through these slides) As we can see here, in the counties highlighted, the white, non-Hispanic population is actually expected to decrease at a faster rate than other ethnicities. We should also pay close attention to the growth of both black and white Hispanics in these counties as well.
  • #17 The same pattern can be seen in the following counties…(move quickly through these slides) As we can see here, in the counties highlighted, the white, non-Hispanic population is actually expected to decrease at a faster rate than other ethnicities. We should also pay close attention to the growth of both black and white Hispanics in these counties as well.
  • #19 When is the best time to plant a tree, 20 years ago, when it the second best time to plant a tree, right now.
