Price feels that gender equality is a business issue and he pointed out that we are not hearing about it for the first time. He said that companies which adopt gender equality will grow faster, mainly due to the fact that with gender equality, there will be diversity of opinion, which he feels will make the business succeed in the future.

“[…] Everyone in the Valley is looking to be as diverse as possible. So we are looking to wide range of networks to find new candidates and continue to invest in sort of equality across the board. We are all trying to reach out to the right candidate to add value to our company,” Price said.

Price pointed out that not just LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD), but everyone in Silicon Valley is looking to be as diverse as possible. He mentioned that LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) is trying hard to find new candidates and are making a lot of attempts to implement gender equality.
