Stella McCartney’s focus on positive change

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

In this new case study, we explore how world events inspired Stella McCartney to take a look at the disparities within the workplace and drive their DE&I initiatives forward.

For the future, the “overarching base-line goal is to create an organisation that reflects the societies in which it operates, one that includes all backgrounds so that all company decisions reflect the benefits of diversity.”

What do you think? Join our exclusive LinkedIn group to discuss this topic, and many others, with our community of senior HR leaders.
