A groundbreaking investigation into diversity and equality in the workplace, arguing that both men and women need to be active participants in the conversation if any meaningful progress is to take place.There’s never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

During the pandemic, executives have had to make tough choices to keep their businesses afloat, whether minimising costs, reducing capacity, suspending products and services or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, meeting unexpected and extreme surges in demand. For many, the primary focus has been business survival and recovery―and a hope to return to the “normal” that was mostly taken for granted before the pandemic. This is a mistake, not least because the old “normal” is unlikely to return. Re:Align is both a call to action and a practical toolkit for leaders everywhere, to turn adversity into advantage by developing the capabilities required to realign their businesses, sometimes radically, to
