The studies on diversity and inclusion often find conflicting results in relation to the performance of diverse groups. Some research indicates that diversity has no relationship on the group's performance, and other research shows that the greater diversity the team has, the poorer the group's performance will be. Finally, some research shows a positive relationship for diverse groups and their performance.

For this discussion, consider your current organization or one that you have worked for previously. Based on the results listed above (no relationship, a negative relationship, and a positive relationship), what types of results did you experience when diversity and inclusion were present in the company? Remember that diversity can be a multitude of dimensions, such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and the like. After providing your experiences, discuss why you believe that results were no relationship, a negative relationship, or a positive relationship and the reasons for the results, such as the attitudes of the employees, lack of training on diversity, no leadership involvement, and the like.
