Diversity in the workplace has never been a hotter topic for companies, but why should businesses be reducing workplace bias at all and how can they go about it? According to research by bias-free hiring platform Diversely amongst its clients, 95% have no way of tracking or measuring their D&I approach or solutions and only 20% are satisfied with those solutions. So what tangible, actionable steps can be put in place to de-bias hiring and what positive impact can it create on diversity?

For this hybrid event, The Executive Centre (TEC) sits down with Helen McGuire of Diversely.io together with Lynette Pathy of Foodpanda, to discuss approaches, successes and goals, and how it can all be improved.
