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), Becki Ashley (Inclusive Consulting) and Chris Hanson (Chefs Counters).
