In addition, NWiR has done an extensive review of research and articles about topics relating to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Advocates of diversity know well that diverse workplaces have the opportunity to increase productivity and innovation, reduced employee turnover, and the ability to connect with a larger customer base. These concepts have been proven over time and are well supported by research. Business leaders need to move beyond thinking of diversity as a simple quota. Progressive and forward-thinking owners and leaders are committed to:

• Eliminating vague statements and taking concrete steps that work
• Understanding that success means more than just the square feet of roof installed
• Thinking in a different way about what matters to their employees

NWiR has created custom resources for the roofing industry on the topics of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
