What?
Companies with the best record of ethnic and racial diversity earn 35% more than average. The companies that perform best for gender diversity are 15% more likely to outperform competitors. Diversity is about far more than the bottom line, but there’s no doubting that diversity is good for business.
Curated by the BIMA South Council in Bournemouth join this networking breakfast where you can hear more about the BIMA Diversity and Inclusion Report and how companies like Organix are considering diversity from every angle and the importance of having diversity across age, gender, race and experience which enable better ideas, innovation and outcomes.
Find out how companies are doing this, with practical examples of how they are developing diverse groups of people within their companies at all levels – from project teams to boards and everything in-between.
