Victoria Dale, Founder of Inclusion 365, is on a mission to support employers and busy HR Leaders to move from reactive to proactive when it comes to driving their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) agenda forward. Her approach is about taking those small steps to build inclusion into everyday conversations, decisions, actions and behaviours.
