Board hiring | Senior recruitment has a diversity issue

Companies that prioritise D&I witness up to a 58% increase in worker performance, whilst companies with higher than average diversity at Board level see 19% higher revenues than those who don’t prioritise it, according to McKinsey data.

However, despite the fact that Deloitte statistics discovered that over 50% of employees believe that D&I needs to be increased within their organisation, a new report from the CIPD and Omni has found that a quarter of employers make no effort to attract and recruit more diverse candidates for top-level jobs.
