In eloomi, we show diversity not only by being an international organisation but also with the people we hire. Our workforce includes 3 different generations: Gen Z, Millennial and Gen X. As Gen Z continues to join the workforce, we will see a rise in diversity numbers. A study brought to our attention by Business Insider shows 81% of Gen Z’s have one or more friends of a different race. This makes them an even more diverse generation than their predecessor Millennials.
Building an organisational culture that has Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) at its heart starts with awareness.
