Description

Business leaders are responsible for delivering results in key areas like talent retention and engagement, client satisfaction and market share. The quality of the connections leaders can create with staff, customers and clients drive these results. All of these connections are affected by similarities and differences among the people involved e.g. personal style, gender or national culture. Leaders with the awareness and skill to manage differences well, will be more successful and avoid inconsistent outcomes.  

This highly practical workshop led by a highly experienced and respect D&I specialist will address inclusion from a business perspective and participants will be taken through a framework enabling them to start to identify challenges, find where differences most affect their organisation’s results and think through the most effective ways to respond.
