DEI under threat: Why DEI remains critical for UK workplaces 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have become essential components of a thriving and competitive workplace. In the UK, businesses and organisations that prioritise DEI are not only fostering fairer work environments but also strengthening their innovation, productivity, and reputation. However, despite the progress made in recent years, without a firm commitment to DEI, workplaces risk reverting to hiring practices influenced by unconscious biases rather than merit, leading to homogeneous teams that lack diverse perspectives and experiences.
