Building diverse workplaces (On Demand)

New Street Consulting Group invited equality, diversity and inclusion leaders from various industries to share their experiences on setting up and developing an in-house D&I function.

They discussed potential pitfalls and necessary steps at every maturity level at our recent webinar, now available to view on-demand.

This cross-sector panel discussion will interest you if you are:

  • a HR director wanting to benchmark your D&I maturity against other organisations
  • a D&I leader seeking practical hints & tips
  • a CEO who only knows D&I as a regulatory or HR concern
  • a talent acquisition expert looking to influence c-suite talent strategies
  • a technical leader struggling to build diverse teams
  • a commercial leader looking to understand how your peers support neuro-diverse team members
  • or if you have any questions about the practical steps you can take to build a more diverse workplace.

Our panelists shared their experiences on setting up and developing strategies from the ground up, focussing on all levels of maturity.
