There will be exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ keynote speeches, panel discussions and speed networking. The event will see a series of discussions that aim to address some of the biggest 2022 trends surrounding holistic diversity, Inclusion, belonging and equity. Exploring:
CEO Activist Pledge: Diversity, equity and inclusion is a societal issue, not a competitive one? How crucial is it to lead from the top, collaborate and make bold actions? Why is the CEO Activist Pledge key in 2022 and how will it impact the next generations?
Holistic Diversity: McKenzie-Delis Foundation: Unlocking equal opportunities for all? Why is the McKenzie-Delis Review crucial in the D&I space to help drive change in large organisations? How do we remove barriers to broaden the areas of visible and invisible diversity that are tracked? Why is it important to track areas like age, religion, nationality, or mental health?
Supplier diversity in 2022: How does a company sift through thousands of potential partners and figure out which ones are minority owned? How do you tell your existing suppliers that they aren’t diverse enough?
The role of the Chief Diversity Officer: How are companies with this critical role winning and outperforming their peers in 2022? What initiatives and actions can ensure that companies are authentically serving a diverse customer base inclusively and equitably long-term?
Sustainability ruled 2021 and will rule 2022: ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance): How diversity and inclusion will be critical to investors, governments, boards and consumers? What actions are needed to adopt a more ESG-friendly operational stance, that equips ESG efforts to long-term value creation and growth for the next generations?
Generation Unlimited – Unlocking Generation Z in the workplace: The future of work? How can businesses adapt to the changing values and norms of different generations and continue to unlock their talent? Why must companies be ready to adopt a speed of evolution that matches the external environment?
Hybrid Working: Are you prepared for hybrid work? As we move towards a new world of work, how does a company create a successful strategy for businesses and workers? Can we maintain a healthy hybrid team environment that delivers long term engagement that also promotes wellbeing too? Will hybrid work help or hinder our D&I agenda?
