Why diversity and inclusion isn’t just a “nice to have”

ICMA Chief Executive Bryan Pascoe, chats to Yanqing Jia from ICMA’s Hong Kong office about how improving diversity and inclusion makes good business sense and the importance of industry leadership by setting a good example. While ICMA has made progress with its D&I initiatives to recruit and support a diverse workforce,  particularly in achieving gender diversity in the group, and in its enthusiastic support for an active international  ICMA Womens Network, his view is that we need to challenge ourselves in other areas, by looking to promote greater diversity of thought and recruiting from a broader range of social backgrounds.
