How your business can benefit from a diverse and inclusive workforce

Research by the Diversity Council of Australia consistently links diverse and inclusive workplaces with improved profit and performance, innovation, creativity, talent management, engagement and wellbeing.

But we know for many businesses, it can be hard to know where to start.

Join our free Workforce Evolve Leaders Forum and hear from BlockTexx co-founder Graham Ross, on how his team has successfully embedded diversity and inclusion practices in the business. Through their work with social impact partners – The Big Issue, HELP enterprises, and Queensland Corrective Services – BlockTexx supports skills development, long term employment and life choices.
