This episode is part of our special series focused on Diversity and Inclusion. In this series I will be talking with leaders in the payments industry (and maybe some experts from outside of the industry) about diversity and inclusion. It has been proven that a diverse workforce and diverse management team leads to increased creativity, better decision making, reduced employee turnover and increased profit – as well as many other benefits that we will be talking about. 

This special series is brought to you by the Wnet and Paysafe.

Start the new year with new research from the McKinsey Women in the Workplace Report. This comprehensive D&I study examines how the payments industry compares to other industries, and provides information you need to advance women and improve gender diversity within your organizations.
