The Smith Institute has worked closely with the RDAs since they were established in 1998, holding national and regional events that have tracked the development of RDAs, as well as helping to share best practice. As part of this agenda, and because of the growing economic importance of diversity issues, this pamphlet explores the economic importance of diversity and offers a series of recommendations to encourage the public and private sector to work together to ensure everyone has the opportunity, not just to access the labour market, but to help drive productivity through higher levels of skills and increased innovation and enterprise in the workplace.
