E-commerce giant Amazon champions diversity and inclusion not only as the right thing to do, but as a business decision aimed at improving creativity and the inventive mindset of its 30,000 full-time UK employees.
Closing the conference agenda on day one of Employee Benefits Live 2019, keynote speaker Ben Farmer (pictured), head of HR, UK corporate at Amazon, said: “The more diverse voices, ideas and experiences we can learn from, the better. At Amazon, diversity starts with understanding that we need to be creative and flexible as we strive to foster an inclusive working environment for employees, especially as their circumstances or needs change.”
