Description

Diversity and inclusion is the #1 HR practice with the highest impact on business performance but 62% of people don't know how to act on gender diversity.

We've teamed up with Invest Newcastle to bring you Gender Balance in the Workplace: Best Practice from the North East. We're thrilled to have the newly elected mayor for the North of Tyne Combined Authority, Jamie Driscoll, speaking for us at the opening of the event. We'll be hosting a panel discussion including amazing guests from three regional businesses which will be chaired by Jamie Hardesty, Community Engagement Manager of Tech Nation. Our panellists will be sharing best practice, war stories and challenges they've faced.

Everyone is welcome.
