## Resource

In this week’s Office Hours, Adam is joined by Dr Mirna Lajtman, an Associate Professor at the Luxembourg School of Business, and Zuza Reda-Jakima, the founder and managing partner of pink not red, a boutique agency specialising in public relations, brand management and graphic design. Together, they discuss the (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) DEI backlash and whether DEI policies are still needed.
