The leadership setup makes crucial decisions that shape the market positioning, long/short-term goals, vision, and the direction of the company. However, gender diversity can influence the quality of decision making in an organization. And that’s because people from different backgrounds put their heads together, bring different information and insight to the table, leading to a thoughtful decision.

Talent attraction and employee retention: Rotational Molding firms that prior gender diversity will more likely attract a pool of talents and retain them than the ones that don’t. And the reason for this is because more than ever, employees understand the importance of working in an environment that is inclusive and supportive.
