Building the Business Case for Diversity and Inclusion – Stories from Asia
Asia represents a strategic growth market and a growing number of companies recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion – both as a talent management strategy but also as a source of competitive advantage. However, most companies in Asia are at the relatively early stages of their diversity journey. Understanding of the issues from an Asian perspective continues to evolve and for the most part, efforts tend to be ad hoc and initiative driven rather than a core part of business strategy.
This research facilitates companies in Asia to develop the ability to position the business case and articulate the impact on the business in a way that resonates, as well as to share anecdotes or stories that bring the business case to life.
