Come along to LBV's July event, which will be exploring the importance and incredible advantages of having a diverse workforce.
Diversity in business is crucial for fostering innovative thinking and reaching a broader audience. Yet, many companies haven’t tapped into the incredible advantages that a more diverse workforce can offer.
Please note: this event has now taken place. You can view a copy of the presentations here.
This event, in collaboration with De Montfort University, provides a great opportunity for LBV members and local businesses to learn more about how you can unlock new perspectives and support ideas that drive success.
Diversity acknowledges the unique needs of individuals from various cultural, economic, ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds. It also embraces the needs of people with disabilities, as well as all gender identities and orientations. Inclusion creates a culture where a diverse workforce can truly thrive.

- Sarah Thomson – De Montfort University
