In this episode Matt Jenkin and Alex Harper are discussing the US influence on DE&I in the UK. We briefly discuss the changes in the US in respect of DE&I initiatives and how that might filter through to the UK. We also discuss the different legal framework in the UK, which may make rowing on DE&I somewhat more complicated for UK employers than for their US counterparts.
