In the current economic climate, pressure is rising for organisations to shuffle priorities and cut spending. But when it comes to diversity and inclusion efforts, it's essential leaders are not short-sighted in their approach and take into account the growing cost of inaction.

?? Missing out on top talent:?76% of job seekers and employees cite a diverse workforce as an important factor when evaluating jobs and companies.

?? Higher employee turnover: Employees who work in a high fairness environment are 27% less likely to quit.

???? Lower productivity: Diverse companies earn 2.5 times higher cash flow per employee and inclusive teams are more productive by over 35%.
