FREE Report: What Works? Evidence-Based Ideas to Increase DEI

COVID-19 has resulted in an uncertain, challenging economic climate for many companies.

But, in the months ahead, the economy will recover and, businesses will be rebuilt...

We now have an opportunity to take a step back and rethink what kind of organisations and employers we want to be - this is the perfect time to make diversity and inclusion a reality.

That's why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of What Works - a report authored by prominent professors in psychology, sociology and the behavioural sciences at top universities as well as business leaders and strategists.

In the words of David Pedulla, associate professor of sociology at Stanford University and organiser of the report:

“Our goal with this report was to take the best research and empirical evidence about what works to increase DEI and distill it into clear steps for organisations  ... In the wake of this pandemic, there is a real opportunity for companies to rethink how they approach this set of issues, and I hope this report will serve as a key resource as they walk through that process.”
