Question

Smileline Inc. has an onsite daycare facility and provides employees fulltime daycare at a very low cost. The company implemented this years ago when managers realized that childcare responsibilities were contributing to high turnover and absenteeism. This example highlights which dividend of workplace diversity?

Answer 1

Answer: Reduced costs linked to high turnover, absenteeism and lawsuits.

Explanation: A more diverse workforce is able to perform more financially. This means that diversity is a competitive differentiator. Smileline inc introduced a daycare to employees who are parents. Because these employees are a diverse part of the organisation, Smile Inc is able to benefit from implementing this form of diversity, thus incurring less lawsuits. Because employees now had less childcare responsibilities, there were less absenteeism and lower turnover rates.
