Our future workplace will be diverse and global. Effective leadership requires someone adept at appreciating and leveraging the differences every individual brings to the team from their perspective. This will not only improve how people interact but is likely to make a company’s products and services more inclusive and successful.

The concepts attached to ‘diversity and inclusion’ can be complex though and even divisive – and we all at times feel frightened of what the right thing to say and do is. In this session we will explore key diversity issues and equip managers with the knowledge and tools they need to confidently tackle them.

"Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person – not just an employee – are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled."
- Anne M Mulcahy, Former Chair & CEO, Xerox
