Diversity is an essential ingredient in innovation, according to Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada, the subsidiary of the global energy management firm. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs can provide mentoring opportunities and improve the effectiveness of recruitment efforts, Heitman tells Professor Karl Moore in an interview for Forbes. “These programs enable companies to emphasize the significance of diversity and inclusion,” Heitman says, “and the important role it plays in fostering a culture of innovation.
