The second piece is that expanding into a larger geographic area, or even a global network, can provide a whole new level of diversity in the company.

While it looks great for a company, diversity and inclusion hiring isn't a box to check, or a marketing tactic: it's about providing equal opportunities to everyone, because it's the right thing to do.


In an interview , Davis Smith, Cotopaxi's CEO, said:

But our culture has changed and all those rituals and traditions, we had to clean them up and start over and we’ve created new ones that work for this new environment.”

While acknowledging that the diversity aspect is no longer limited, Smith raises an important question for those looking to make the change.

Who should adapt? Should new employees adopt the culture their employer has already established? Should the employer start over to adapt to everyone's cultural values?
