Heather Melville offers frank answers on her experience of being a minority in the workplace and how the game is changing for diversity and inclusion.
Heather Melville, director of client experience at PwC UK, joined Inspirefest founder Ann O’Dea for a straight-talking discussion on diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
