The popular Dive In Festival took the decision to go virtual in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisers found the move enabled them to attract an entirely new audience and boost overall attendance, says Marc McKenna-Coles, 2020 Dive In Festival lead, in his foreword to Intelligent Insurer s Diversity and Inclusion Report 2021.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to diversity and inclusion (D&I). Every country, every business, and every community has its own D&I challenges. While there have been many points in history where society reflects on these challenges, 2020 presented a real opportunity for change as organisations across the globe began to engage in discussions of racial justice and employee wellbeing.
