The IMD’s Inclusive Future research

IMD’s extensive three-part analysis examines a broad range of qualitative and quantitative approaches and practices that organizations can implement to cultivate a more inclusive workplace.

The report highlights the need for a comprehensive exploration of the six key dimensions of inclusion: psychological safety, uniqueness, fairness, participation, belonging, and authenticity. 

At PMI, we will use the findings to help us further establish inclusion at the core of our business—which is key to unlocking the innovation, creativity, and solutions required to deliver a smoke-free future.
