While more and more organisations are making real changes when it comes to improving diversity and inclusion, we understand that it still takes a lot of work to get buy-in from all levels of an organisation before new policies can be implemented.
There are myriad resources out there, and there seems to be a new diversity survey or research report popping up every week. We’ve combed the web for some helpful, credible resources that you can utilise in building your case for change. We’ll be including some of the most impactful points in these below surveys in an infographic that we’ll share soon, but for now, have a look at the list below and let us know what else you’d like to see.
If you have a report or survey you’d like to recommend we include here, reach out to hello@diversityagenda.org.
