D&I in India Best Practice Benchmark Report - Launch Event
Community Business launches its first D&I in India Best Practice Benchmark Report
Description
Many businesses in India now recognise the critical link between diverse and inclusive workplaces and increased business performance. But how do companies track and measure progress? What does best practice look like? And how do companies map out the way forward? These are some of the questions that were being posed by the practitioners of our leading diversity and inclusion network in India, DIAN India - and that Community Business’ D&I in India Best Practice Benchmark seeks to answer.
Benchmark Exercise
In 2018, 34 companies took part in a collective Benchmark Exercise. We have consolidated the findings to compile a D&I in India Best Practice Benchmark Report – providing valuable insights into how leading companies in India are performing. Attend this launch event where we will share the key findings, our observations and recommendations for the way forward. We will also invite a panel of executives to share corporate perspectives, reflecting on collective and individual performance and discussing the value of benchmarking to drive continued progress on D&I.
Who Should Attend
This event is for all companies looking to assess their performance on D&I in India and drive continued progress moving forward. All registered attendees will receive a complimentary soft copy of the report.
