This is not the end of inclusion
We’re certain of one thing: this is not the age of the end of inclusion. Despite debates and step-backs, we prefer to listen to the leaders who, in these days, have reminded us that the train has already left the station.
Inclusion is not just a value — it’s a strategy that helps companies grow. And we want to prove it through the stories of those who have lived this transformation.
Inclusion as a driver of corporate growth
Looking at global reports, the data is clear: companies that invest in diversity and inclusion see not only improvements in workplace culture, but also growth in innovation and economic performance. According to McKinsey, organizations with diverse leadership teams are 36% more likely to outperform their competitors in terms of profitability. Moreover, closing the gender gap could generate over €11 trillion for the global economy.
But for many Italian SMEs, these numbers feel distant—tied to multinational contexts and difficult to apply to local realities. Many companies ask us every day what all of this actually means for them, within the reality of a local business, often operating in more traditional sectors.
Nasce quindi Inclusion Talks: Storie che Cambiano il Business
Why is it important?
Inclusion Talks is our new interview format that brings to light real experiences from companies that have placed inclusion at the center and have gained tangible benefits in terms of innovation, productivity, and organizational well-being.
Many companies face the challenge of turning inclusion from an abstract concept into a measurable reality. Reports and research are helpful, but what truly convinces people are real experiences. Inclusion Talks was created to give a voice to those who have lived this transformation firsthand, offering concrete and replicable insights.
Why is it important?
Aram Mbow, founder of Innovamey, highlights the strategic value of inclusion: “Companies that embrace diversity and inclusion are not only making an ethical choice — they are adopting a competitive strategy. The best talent, the strongest innovation, and the healthiest workplace culture are found where there is room for everyone.”
“Younger generations,” added Sharon Sorti, Communication Manager, “choose companies that reflect their values. A business that invests in inclusion not only creates a fairer environment, but also becomes a magnet for the top talent of tomorrow.”
Similarly, the social dimension is a fundamental lever for everyone, as noted by Sara Todde, Content Strategy Manager: “Inclusion that takes shape within society — from schools to the companies and even the gyms our children attend — is an unmissable opportunity to build, or rebuild, a richer and fairer society. Companies play a key role in this process.”
What are we looking for?
We don’t just want best practices. We want authentic stories from those who have implemented inclusive policies and seen the results firsthand: more motivated teams, more innovative processes, and a real impact on the business.
If your company has made inclusion a driver of growth, your experience can inspire other organizations to begin this journey. We want to hear from you — and share your story.
