WTW marked Black History Month by teaming up with Young Diverse World Changers (YDWC) to lead a debate on whether teams built with the criteria of diversity work better, and whether selecting teams based purely on experience and achievements undermines diversity.
WTW Head of Legal CEEMEA, Shoma Banerjee, said: "The debate is a chance to reflect on this year's theme, Time for Change: Action Not Words and come together to ensure all workplaces are inclusive."
