Following the launch of Metimur, it's important that some of the findings from the Independent Inclusion at Work panel report released in March of this year are discussed. The report shed light on the current situation of EDI in the United Kingdom and advised new solutions for the sector going forward. The report pinpointed how business leaders in EDI are often reactive and not proactive, with data often not being consulted before decisions in EDI are made. As with any sector of work, decision making should always be based on evidence. That's why Metimur has made the topic of inclusion measurable, so that business leaders and EDI professionals can utilise the necessary interventions that will have maximum impact on their people and their bottom lines. 🌎 #Inclusion #Measurment #Impact #EDI
