Diversity and inclusion: maintaining the momentum
A recent report conducted by the CIPD revealed that only 48% of those 2,009 senior decision-makers surveyed had a freestanding D&I strategy and more than a third of respondents admitted they had no intention of focusing on any D&I areas over the next five years.
