How to meet diversity milestones as a sector

A diverse workplace is necessary to maximise the social sector’s impact. We know this, but why do our best efforts to diversify our workplace often fall short?

We are about to launch our first white paper: Recruiting for Diversity. This is THE practical guide on how to increase diversity from the ground right up to board level. Drawing from international case studies of best practices to make this a reality in any organisation, this briefing focuses on how to, rather than the theory of why it’s good. Join us as we dissect the best ways to achieve a diverse sector and how you can make this a reality in your organisation.
