Beyond rhetoric: what is really sustaining – or undermining – DEI in UK workplaces?

Diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) has not disappeared from organisational agendas, but it is under pressure. It feels more fragile, more contested, and harder to sustain than it did a few years ago. Dr Meenakshi Krishnan, Principal Research Fellow at IES reflects on what is driving inclusion and fairness in organisations right now? How are current labour market challenges strengthening or complicating the case for DEI? And what would make DEI feel like core business?
