Employers must make reasonable adjustments to prevent people living with disabilities and hidden illnesses from being disadvantaged.  It’s the law, but is that the only reason it matters?  Logistics is largely a labour-intensive industry.  Are you missing out on hardworking and dedicated people who could be a vital part of your talent pool? Get practical advice from the experts on how to put that right. 


There is no fee to join The Women in Logistics Virtual Diversity Roadshow. To take advantage of this great opportunity, please use the 'Book Now' to secure your place at the event, or contact the Events Team.
