Why diverse hiring is vital for businesses

In this IIL inclusion & diversity lecture Paul Jardine explored what we mean when we speak about diversity. He concluded by looking at practical steps the market is taking to improve.

What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Do we always see the real picture? Paul will explore unconscious bias - the accidental, unintended, subtle and completely unconscious choices, made by everyone, all the time.
