Diversity and inclusion have been hot topics in the business world for years now, however, many leaders are still struggling to find ways to improve their internal operations to create a more inclusive work environment. “Diversity and inclusion (D&I) is more than policies, programs, or headcounts. Equitable employers outpace their competitors by respecting the unique needs, perspectives and potential of all their team members.
