Beyond the Tick Box: How Can South Yorkshire Businesses Build Truly Inclusive Workplaces?
While many businesses have pledged their commitment to diversity, real progress requires more than just ticking boxes. This debate pushes us to move beyond surface-level initiatives and focus on creating workplace cultures where diversity truly thrives.
Key discussion points include:
- Shifting from policies to meaningful cultural change by tackling barriers that underrepresented groups face in leadership.
- Understanding the business case for diversity—how it fuels innovation, boosts productivity, and drives growth.
- Encouraging greater leadership diversity in South Yorkshire’s SMEs and family-run businesses.
- Addressing gender imbalances in traditionally male-dominated industries such as manufacturing and logistics.
- Supporting neurodivergent employees and fostering disability-inclusive workplaces.
Hosted by Phil Turner (unLTD Business) – he will be joined by Elizabeth Booth (CMS), Beckie Ashley (Inclusive Consulting) and Chris Hanson (Chefs Counters).
