Moving from inclusion policies to practice is more relevant today than ever for a successful economic recovery. Automation, COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter Movement have shaped 2020 and challenged all organizations to act, especially to support newcomers, immigrants, and individuals from BIPOC communities.
