 As you know, we're great supporters of diversity in the workplace, and there is a whole raft of legislation governing this area. But it's not just about following the law, it is genuinely in your best interests to recruit and develop people from a wide and diverse pool of talent. It seems obvious to us that diversity should be encouraged and valued, with equal opportunity for all. Your clients probably include a range of age groups' doesn't it make sense to employ a wide range of staff too?
