LinkedIn has introduced ‘Diversity Nudges’ that alert recruiters when their candidates are not diverse enough and suggest ways to remedy this. With equality expected by consumers and employees, there’s an opportunity for brands to help challenge archaic inequitable business processes.

Since the death of George Floyd and BLM protests in 2020, the representation of diversity in ad campaigns has soared. But Black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups still find that diversity in media entrenches rather than dismantles stereotypes. In 2022, how can brands get diversity right?

The company Awaken aims to create a compassionate space for uncomfortable workplace conversations. Running thought-provoking workshops around inclusion and social justice, its principles are built on long-term commitment to DEI, rather than knee-jerk reaction initiatives.
