Talent acquisition was once a silo-based activity that would be performed independently by human resource employees. However, with changing times and a rapidly evolving and inclusive business market, it has become pertinent for organisations to keep up with the diversity and inclusive trends of the global business landscape and become more resilient to changing business needs. 

What do inclusivity and diversity have to do with business needs? Well, inclusive and diverse organisations have proven to be consistently better at performing in global markets than companies that don't invest in diverse talent. A study showed that organisations in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to have greater financial returns compared to companies that don’t effectively diversify their workforce. With this in mind, you can't afford to miss this course!
