"Badenoch attacks diversity red tape for stifling Britain’s growth." I find that people are gaining confidence in speaking their truth, even though, it can go against some initiatives goals, at times. Logic argues with change at times. Change can be a direction, a goal, a movement. Where logic can delay, accelerate, or challenge the change ambition. It's interesting to shoot to the top level view of how diversity targets impact the day to day of business output. GDP is critical to each countries future and present, whilst being matched in importance to inclusion and equity. Can all parties take an objective view to understand the route to their goal requires compromise and appreciation? Or, should one come before the other to expedite change? Kemi Badenoch wants change, but doesn't want initiatives to become counterproductive. This is the logic that's needed to engage all stakeholders, and can propel change faster than "push" strategies alone. #diversity #equalitychange Equal Employer® Article subject courtesy of The Telegraph.
