VIDEO INTERVIEW: Adam Warner, President, Key Equipment Finance discusses the importance of creating a more diverse workforce in the equipment finance industry. According to Warner, the most important benefit of building a diverse workforce and leadership team is gaining diversity of thought. He goes on to explain that when companies gravitate toward a more diverse organization, they create diverse ideas and strategies that didn’t exist in the past.

Warner also explains why it is important to create a diverse slate of candidates when hiring, and that equipment finance professionals should expect a level of diversity in their candidate pool. According to Warner, if companies and banks in our industry do not focus on diversification, they will not be prepared to properly represent clients; therefore focusing on building teams that are more representative of clients’ incoming workforces will become more important over time.
