Stela Lupushor from ReFrame.Work and Paolo Guadiano from Aleria talk to us about the next level of workforce analytics that goes beyond diversity indicators, and how the latest research shows how looking at exclusion dynamics is one of the keys to unlocking new quantifiable ways to measure inclusion.
