Understanding the importance of equitable hiring: the whys and hows 

UK businesses are facing a wide variety of challenges — from handling talent shortages and meeting rising employee expectations to tackling the need for more inclusive, dynamic teams.   

However, amidst these workplace challenges lies an opportunity. 

By adopting equitable hiring practices and focusing on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I), businesses can tackle many of these difficulties and build more successful teams.  

In fact, McKinsey & Company stated that the case for DE&I is stronger than ever, saying businesses that are diverse and inclusive are better able to respond to challenges, win top talent and meet the needs of different customer bases.
