Wells Fargo Diversity

Diversity is something every company strives to achieve. However, many fail to realize what the word means. In most cases it is only associated with an individual’s ethic background. However, it too relates to the differences that make people who they are including things like religion. Diversity is important within the workplace for several reasons. Two driving reasons companies try to achieve diversity are the increases of exposure within the workplace and diversity speaks to how the company strives to be professionally responsible. Exposure to people who may have different views than you is essential because Wells Fargo’s customers are diverse. There is no customer that is the same as the other. In other words, if an employee is not accustomed

to communicating with people who are different from them, they are put at a disadvantage, which hurts Wells Fargo in the long run. Having employees exposed to a diverse range of people with diverse beliefs allows the employee to continue to grow, something that is good. This growth could even lead to a promotion from within culture to develop within companies. In addition, this exposure provides different ideas on how to resolve conflicts that are present or may arise. In some cases others see problems and solution that you overlook. This is why you always ask someone to read over your work before submitting it; humans do not always recognize everything.
In regard to professional responsibility diversity shows the company’s commitment to making professionally responsible decisions. These decisions aid the company build a positive brand, which leads to it being an attractive place for talented professionals to seek employment and for customers to spend their money. Although I have an idea of why diversity is important within the workplace, I want to utilize the Sophomore Leaders Conference to further understand the why and how companies increase diversity within the workplace. In addition the Sophomore Leaders Conference will serve as a network opportunity to showcase why I am a good candidate to represent the core values of Wells Fargo, which include ethics and diversity/inclusion.
In conclusion diversity is something every organization is striving to achieve today. It has benefits that cannot be ignored, which is why businesses make it their priority to ensure they are creating a diverse workplace.
