I think one of the biggest reasons for diversifying the workforce before was to make the business innovative and prevent it from stagnating. Getting fresh ideas, and improving things are just some of the good that a new employee can bring. It can be as simple as the company suddenly providing snacks and free drinks to employees, allowing longer afternoon breaks for a nap, or flexible hours, which can improve work efficiency. Unfortunately, lately it has been done just to silence/appease the vocal minority which can end up being detrimental to the company.
