Statistical takeaways
as per a study conducted by Glassdoor:
17. There is a value in diversity
When they ask how much they effective they think they are? how you confident you are?.... the homogeneous group respond that t
hey answer we are great, we got the right answer.
The diversified group they respond that "ughh we don't think we go the right answer, we are not so sure this went so right'
# THEY HAVE DON A LOT OF TASK
# THEY DISSAGREE EACH OTHER
# THEY HAD TO THINK HARDER ABOUT THE PROBLEM
# MN ALEFACHU ITS BEEN THE HARD WORK FOR THEM. "THE PAIN IS WORTH THE GAIN" IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN DI
VERSIFIED GROUP THAT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING
Its the same as going to the gym....work until we got what we want....its same as diversity when you interact with people who looks
deferent from you, who has a deferent accent than you do , who is a little bit harder to understand... the hard work that you doing wi
ll pay off, as I show you in this studies.

edominantly remote institutions and that many experience
discrimination and differential treatment

field in which a negative stereotype relevant to their identity
exists often experience “stereotype threat
