It takes effort to promote diversity and inclusion

According to experts at the Satellite 2021 conference, recruiting and keeping a diverse workforce takes time and effort, but it can help businesses prosper. Debra Facktor, who works as the head in charge of the Space Systems for the Airbus US Space and Defense Corporation, believes that diverse teams perform better. “It’s simply a fact. Their stock is worth more. Their profits are higher. She went on to say, “It points to the teamwork and innovation which comes from introducing different voices and views to problem-solving.”

According to Meredith LaBeau, chief technology officer of Calumet Electronics Corp, that is especially true in building and producing next-generation electronic systems.
