Organizations often focus on gender diversity, and while this does improve school system's performance, ethnic diversity has an even larger impact on stakeholder outcomes.
Diversity is not just a "do good" thing - it supports your school system's bottom line.
Join us in this webinar to discuss:
- Why diversity matters.
- How to attract talent from ethnically diverse groups.
- How to make sure that the talent you attract wants to stay with you.
