We Make Change Happen: Fostering Diversity And Inclusion

7th November 2018 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Diverse teams and organisations can generate innovative ideas and enhance business performance. However, a diverse organisation also needs to be inclusive to maximise that potential. Role models can play, in this sense, a crucial role on fostering diversity and inclusion as well as attracting, retaining and developing talented people.

On this event we will explore what it means to be an LGBT+ role model and the ways that everyone can step up as a role model to create inclusive workplaces.

Our panel speakers include:

  • Amanda McKay: Balfour Beatty Major Projects Quality Director
  • Tag Warner: Gay Times Commercial Director
  • Glenn Robison: Arup Consultant in Infrastructure Advisory and Leeds Representative for Connect Out LGBT+ Network

  • 5.30 pm – 6.00 pm: Registration & Networking
