Monday 22nd May, 6pm
“Diversity & Inclusion” has become one of the most utilized terms in business, appearing throughout company values, panel discussions, and sales presentations. Despite the term’s presence, the idea of Diversity & Inclusion typically falls short of action.
A diverse workforce that is inclusive of all employees can pay dividends to new businesses.
