\nIn these challenging times\, we are seeing the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black\, Asian and Minority Ethnic people and have witnessed anti-racism protests around the globe.
As business leaders we have a responsibility to make Diversity &\; Inclusion business as usual\, raising our consciousness of issues that affect our people\, customers and communities\, becoming less hesitant and more confident on issues that embrace agenda&rsquo\;s around Race\, Disability\, Age\, LGBTQ &\; Gender.
\n\nThis is not just the right thing for businesses to do\, it'\;s the smart thing &ndash\; research shows that businesses that promote a diverse and inclusive workplace are more productive and more profitable.
