Diversity and Inclusion Labs
Research shows that companies with higher levels of gender diversity and inclusive practices are likely to deliver strong results. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I), is focused to sensitize the client system organization experientially and orient it mentally to not tolerate but celebrate differences is an important ingredient to create business impact.
