Why is Cultural Competence necessary for high-performance?

Inclusive organizations perform better because these companies make better business decisions. This success includes: greater creativity and innovation; higher employee engagement and retention; and better financial performance (McKinsey). There is “a strong correlation between workplace culture, satisfied and engaged employees, and business productivity and profits.” (SHRM,2019)

This means creating an equitable and inclusive workplace is the smart business thing to do. These companies perform better because employees and managers make better decisions, enjoy greater retention, and foster greater customer service.

The companies with a strong, vibrant, positive culture consistently maintain a competitive business advantage in a dynamic global marketplace.

What industries do you specialize in?

We focus on law enforcement, higher education, healthcare, and local government. We are open to any company that seeks a high-performing organizational culture. 

Why is organizational culture challenging?

The management of cultural competence is challenged by the impact of the current public discourse which misinforms the core purpose of diversity. Leveraging diversity in the workplace means to treat every employee with courtesy, dignity and respect.

Cultural competence is not affirmative action, a quota requirement or a preferential treatment program. It is not some aberrant form of "wokeism" or critical race theory. And most of all, culturally competent workplaces do not blame, shame or dehumane anyone because diversity includes everyone. 

Cultural competence ensures a company gets better as each and every employee is valued in the workplace. Employees are valued by equitable processes and inclusive practices.

SDC will guide the company to get the best of each employee and team. The best companies intentionally design an organizational culture for business success.

What are three facts of the 2024-2025 workplace?

1. Cultural competence is a business philosophy for competitive advantage

2. Equitable processes and inclusive practices foster a superior work culture

3. Cultural competence is not affirmative action, wokeism or critical race theory.
