Diversity and inclusion remain one of the top challenges facing businesses in 2021, despite more than 80% conducting unconscious bias training, according to a new survey.
The study, conducted by Arctic Shores, revealed that more than three quarters of companies plan to review their diversity hiring practices for 2021. And it comes despite 81% of employers surveyed having conducted unconscious bias training with its existing workforce.
