Diversity, equity and inclusion – together for better

A lot has changed for the better over the past few years. As Mike Dixon, the author of this issue’s foreword, writes: “There has been a renewed and reinvigorated focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace, as well as our everyday lives. When business leaders are asked what they feel their important challenges are, DE&I features high on the list – not just with respect to their own workforce, but in how they do business holistically.”

Recognising the importance, for the first time the Communiqué 2021 Awards included a Leadership Award For Action On Workforce Diversity and Inclusion. As Mike notes: “One thing is clear: we need to embed DE&I into everything we do.”

Read more on page 7 as Mike talks about how diversity, equity and inclusion is “much more than just about racial background – it’s about trying to ensure all people are treated with equal respect and have the opportunities to achieve equal outcomes”.

Once again, following the 2021 in-person Communiqué Awards, we are pleased to offer our readers a selection of case studies that showcase the winning work from the Awards. They highlight the truly excellent work of pharma and agencies in healthcare as they strive to create change, innovate education, improve outcomes and support HCPs.

To inspire you in your next moves, in this issue we also bring you over 300 agencies to choose from when shortlisting your next communications partner. Visit us online where you’ll see that the print directory is fully integrated with our PMLiVE.com website.

Here’s to a more positive 2022!
