The business case for diversity is simply overwhelming. The best and most informed commercial decisions are made by harnessing a variety of views and opinions. In this period of global connectivity, diversity can no longer be considered as something that is “nice to have”, it is essential.

Companies must recognise that by encouraging a diverse and inclusive work environment they are, ultimately, gaining unparalleled benefits that go far beyond what they might expect.

Businesses now have the power to bring transformative change to working culture. But this can only come from within. By now, we already inherently know that diversity is good for business and the argument for it becomes more powerful every year – and getting there begins with every one of us.

This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is centred around this very notion. Championing the idea that an equal world is an enabled world – organisers are calling for us all to broaden our perceptions and empower each other.
