Why DEI Matters More Than Ever

84% of HR professionals say that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is either fairly important or very important to the future success of their organisation, yet 42% of workers with a disability experienced discrimination and/or harassment at work in the last 12 months. The gap between intention and implementation requires expert guidance to bridge effectively.
