An opportunity to align inclusion, distributed work, and people-focused strategies more directly with an organization's objectives in 2025 and beyond \u2014 and continue to build freer, fairer workplaces that work for us all. &amp;nbsp; As we wrap up the year, we\u2019re sharing the lessons we\u2019ve learned from 2024, the challenges and opportunities for 2025, and what\u2019s next for us at Inclusion in Progress.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Finally, we\u2019ll continue to share our resources, insights, and conversations with you here on this podcast as a resource for globally-minded leaders like you.
