Considering recent concerns that DEI “quiet quitting” may gain traction in Australia following trends in the U.S., it’s more important than ever to double down on strategies that demonstrate DEI's value to business resilience, innovation, and shareholder trust. Critically, 2 of 5 boards in USA don’t see DE&I as high priority Here are four critical strategies to keep DEI relevant and impactful at the board level, bridging the gap between DEI and core business priorities Australia can maintain momentum by framing DEI as a strategic imperative rather than a compliance measure. Let’s stay committed to driving meaningful, resilient DEI that elevates the entire business. How can your board make DEI a business priority? Let’s discuss!

A chance to get out of the office and revisit an old haunt! 🌟 Exciting Times Ahead! 🌟 It was inspiring to attend the North East Chamber of Commerce AGM and witness the positive energy and optimism for the upcoming year. With a new government in place, there’s a renewed focus on growth and innovation that promises exciting opportunities for businesses across our region. One of the standout themes of the AGM was the emphasis on diversity and inclusion. It’s clear that fostering a diverse workforce and inclusive business practices is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage. The discussions highlighted how diversity drives creativity, enhances problem-solving, and ultimately leads to better business outcomes. Looking ahead, I'm thrilled about the potential for growth and the role digital marketing can play in amplifying the voices of diverse communities and businesses. By leveraging digital platforms, we can create more inclusive marketing strategies that resonate with a wider audience and reflect the rich diversity of our region. Here's to a prosperous year ahead, filled with innovation, inclusivity, and growth!
