In our final Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) session for 2022, we bring together a panel of industry guests as they share some practical, simple, quick actions they have taken to improve DE&I in their workplace. Irrespective of your budget or the size of your organisation, there will be tips you can pick up and run with. So you'll be in the right place if you're looking just to get started, reduce bias, diversify your recruitment, or create a culture of inclusion and belonging.
