Belonging - Unlocking the Benefits of Diversity and Inclusion

We are holding a free event exploring the secret to unlocking the benefits of diversity and inclusion. Our speaker is Russell Beck, an inspiring presenter from ImagineThinkDo.

Incredible amounts of effort have been made to create diverse and inclusive workforces. All with the right aim, but not necessarily delivering the desired results.

We have been looking through the kaleidoscope from the wrong end. The root problem, the one that we really need to solve, is “belonging”. It is only by creating a sense of belonging for all of our employees, where each feels safe to be themselves without fear of repercussion, that we can create inclusion and a truly diverse workforce.

The benefits are significant: employees who feel a strong sense of belonging have a 56% increase in overall job performance and are 50% less likely to be a turnover risk compared to employees with a low sense of belonging. There is also a reduced risk of discrimination claims, and the financial and reputational costs that accompany them.

This event will explore why belonging is so critical. We will discuss how belonging can unlock the benefits of diversity and inclusion; the science behind connections; and a practical action plan for embedding belonging across your organisation.

There will be plenty of opportunities for networking with contacts from across the region.

Please note tickets are limited to two per organisation and are available on a first come first served basis.
