Our Diversity Commitment: Toft Group Recruits for Diversity
Toft Group proudly and actively promotes and communicates our focus on diversity in both recruiting and hiring.
At Toft Group, we firmly believe that key benefits of companies fostering diversity include: increased creativity and innovation, richer brainstorming, better decision making, and improved financial performance.
It is important to note that gender-, age-, and ethnically-diverse candidates remain vastly under-represented today on life science companies’ executive leadership teams and Boards of Directors. Solving this problem requires devoted efforts to identify, recruit, attract, and retain diverse talent – this is Toft Group’s focus, both internally and externally with our customers.
Establishing an effective inclusion and diversity strategy in the workplace has proven to be the single best way to attract and retain innovative and motivated employees.
- Inclusion is the process of creating a business culture and environment that recognizes and effectively leverages: the talents, skills and perspectives of diverse employees.
- Toft Group has found that clearly defined roles with built-in career development pathways, and training/mentoring programs ensure all employees grow, while developing the capabilities and skills required to meet the challenging needs in the workplace.
Toft Group has assembled resources to help you learn more about the diversity gap and gain actionable solutions, with the goal of building leadership teams that better reflect the diversity of our country and of the patients our industry serves.
