About the event

Diversity is smart business and the numbers are there to back it up. Businesses that strive to hire employees with diverse ethnic backgrounds are 33% more likely to outperform and research shows a 59.1% increase in creativity within a diverse company.

Yet, we still don’t see much diversity in leadership positions and female participation is low in many countries.

How might we shift from theory to practice so diversity is no longer a CSR project, but just smart business? How might individuals and businesses push the conversation forward and bring their diversity in to play as a strength?

Diversity is about more than what meets the eye

Here we dive into what diversity actually means in the digital workplace and explore concepts beyond the simple optics.

You may not be able to win everyone over with moral arguments in favor of diversity. Here we open up business arguments for diversity in the workplace.

Overt vs covert discrimination

There are multiple manifestations of discrimination. And each requires different tactics to battle it.

Retaining diverse employees

Diversity is not just about encouraging diverse people to join your team. It's also about making them want to stay.
