Episode notes

Diversity and inclusion is accepted as something business leaders should be striving for in their teams. But what about cognitive diversity? What does that mean, and why should business leaders be thinking beyond ethnicity, age, gender and other demographic markers when hiring for their businesses?

Cofruition founder Sam Floy speaks with Gov Kandola, Senior Consultant at executive search firm Venari Partners about his recent article on cognitive diversity and the broader impact of diversity in the workplace.
