Welcome
As part of our ongoing exploration of the issues which will impact businesses beyond COVID-19, the next edition of our Workplace Health Insights series unpacks some of the complex challenges around equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
New Bupa research shows that one in four executives believes clear strategies around diversity and inclusion are crucial for employee wellbeing, and 28% believe greater diversity and inclusion are good for business.¹
Effective EDI strategies build happier teams and ensure managers are equipped to support colleagues who may be struggling with major life events. They also protect against legal liabilities.
Our featured articles provide key insights on what this means in the workplace.
