Why should businesses support gender diversity? Oxera and Business in the Community (BITC) have worked together to research the business case for gender equity and diversity. Their findings reveal that companies with higher diversity report increased sales revenue, expanded customer base, and greater profit margins than their competitors. These organisations also saw better decision making, greater diversity of thought and experience, and higher staff engagement. The full report will be released in early 2025.
In this episode of Top of the Agenda, we offer an exclusive preview of BITC and Oxera’s key insights, recorded live at an event. Join Charlotte Woodworth, Gender Equality Campaign Manager at BITC; Khaldia Al Kasm, Senior Consultant at Oxera; and Jessie Davidson, Consultant at Oxera, as they discuss the findings. Helen Jenkins is also joined by Rob Catherall, Principal at Oxera, for a deeper dive into the research and its implications.
