This is all superficial diversity. The problem with these types of incentives is you attract ppl who care about these types of incentives. Then you send them up the ladder and after 10-20 years they are still motivated by what freebies they get irrespective of what their skin color or sex is.
Companies full of such people then sit around wondering why they stagnate.

- op03 6y agoStories and experiences are not overly interesting. Diversity in drive/motivation is. Walk into New York UN offices and a neverending list of stories and experiences will flow. But the org is feckless because its selects for, over time a class of people more interested in showing others their UN credentials and perks than anything else. You can be mesmerized by the diversity and experiences and forget the middling outcomes over time of such groups.
