Supply Side Solutions create a business case for Diversity
“It would establish diversity as a way of doing business. This moves from being a nice to have to a business critical task.”
Supply Side Solutions democratise Diversity and Inclusion issues in the workplace
“Diversity and Inclusion appears to be an issue for big business. But most people don’t work for a global corporation. If you listen to this show, at times you’ll be forgiven for thinking that I’m speaking only to those organisations. That’s not my intention”
Supply Side Solutions require standards to be maintained
“It’s incumbent on the organisation calling the shots to maintain standards themselves.  It’s going to be difficult to disqualify your suppliers for not meeting particular diversity and inclusion related criteria if as an organisation if you’re not meeting them yourselves”
