The corporate responsibility network FIBS has published a new Diversity and Inclusion self-assessment tool for companies and other organisations. The tool is free of charge, and it helps you identify areas included in diversity work, assess the current level of your organisation with regard to the different measures and find the areas and development targets essential for your own operations.
For International Women’s Day 2021, we look back at the harm that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought on women’s employment trends—and a glimpse of how to restore progress.
