The importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in Greater Manchester workplaces

The case for equality and diversity is clear: organisations that represent the communities in which they work; that welcome difference; and provide spaces for all voices to be heard, will perform better.
There is a positive relationship between the diversity of senior teams and the financial performance of businesses; and organisations that champion equality will continue to remain attractive to employees and clients alike. Everyone else will be left behind.
This event will mark the launch of a new report by pro-manchester on equality and diversity in the city, following research with over 600 businesses and interviews with champions of change.
It will be an opportunity to understand what people think of diversity in their own organisations, where the challenges remain, how everyone can move forward, and who else is able to help on the journey.
You’ll hear from
leading thinkers on diversity and inclusion; company directors implementing change in their own organisations; champions of diversity who are working to support others make positive change.
You’ll learn about
the results of pro-manchester’s research on equality, diversity and inclusion across Greater Manchester; that latest thinking on how to tackle the challenge; examples that will help you improve your own organisation.
Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
