There are three main reasons why EDI is important.

​

1. The Business Case - it has a positive financial and reputational impact

2. The Legal Case - it is a legal requirement

3. The Moral Case - it creates a better society for everyone.

​

Building the case for diversity and inclusion requires engagement from leadership. The business case needs to be tied down to the bottom line. Countless studies have shown how diversity and inclusion are good for business. But you have to understand what does it mean for your department? 

​

Building a strong business case will help you to get strong support for EDI initiatives and progress your department's capabilities.
