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. As a result, the CIPD has outlined seven recommendations to, in its own words, help employers "re-energise their own approach to practice that will support equality, diversity and inclusion in their organisation". In this blog, we take a closer look at these recommendations and consider the benefits of employers having a diverse and inclusive workforce.
