These themes were explored in a recent episode of The HR Leader with Cultural Infusion chief executive Peter Mousaferiadis, highlighting just how important it is for organisations to create equitable and inclusive workplaces.

The significance of intersectionality was explored, and how understanding this term can assist in developing a healthy and happy workplace.

Peter also delved into the role of technology and data in recognising issues and helping to eliminate them. Representation is a crucial aspect of DEI, and it’s important for workplaces to reflect the community they serve.
