A great opportunity to join in a ‘diversity’ debate and network with members of National Grid and also InterEngineering.
Diversity is more than just a buzz-word. In today’s workplace, it can hold the key of fostering new ways of thinking, reaching out to a wider range of customers and help grow a business.
Our workforce and working patterns are changing. Our working population is getting older, and increasingly numbers of women and people from different cultural, ethnical backgrounds and sexual orientation are entering the workforce. Valuing diversity and realising the benefits that come from it is becoming increasingly important for business.
To explore this topic, National Gride Pride and InterEngineering Midlands are hosting an evening of interesting debate and networking on the theme of ‘Why should commercial companies care about diversity?’
What’s the agenda for the evening and who can I expect to meet?
