Let's get stuck in.

We recently shared the findings of a Diversity and Inclusion report on our social media which ranked GAP USA in the top position for adhering to the symbols of a modern and progressive workplace. As important and significant as this recognition is, measurable progress in increasing workplace diversity remains universally slow. There is no question about it, diverse teams leads to better results. Diversity brings perspective. A diverse team is less likely to lead to groupthink – a trap door to systemic dysfunction. But why do so many leadership roles (or all roles) still look and think the same? How can we help by creating more inclusive workplaces? These questions are explored and dissected by our Communications Director, Georgie Bradley, in a piece which you'll find in our Mind Lab.

This week we're also into re-upping your knowledge on some of the things we get up to among other things. Check out our E-commerce and Event Promotion services – two areas of our wheelhouse that are in hot demand more than ever – the former due to innovation doing its thing and the latter because in a post pandemic world, all we want to do is interface in person and not through a quadrant via Zoom – although we love (and extensively use) the platform, there's nothing like that in-person atmosphere.

In other news, China is leading the 6G (6!!) charge, but according to a whitepaper by Samsung it takes an average of ten years for a new standard to become ready for commercialization, as 5G took eight years. The tech giant suggested a potential rollout date of 2028-2030 for 6G, so there is a pressing need for progress to be made.

And on a completely different and final note, if you've got a 30-minute window in your day for some dark yet essential reading, click on "Miriam" by Truman Capote in 'Diversions'. You may well be moved in some way or another!

Till next week...a very seminal week for Team E.

OUR DIVERSIONS

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.
