This webinar will explore the topics of diversity, inclusion and belonging and how do we create 'the perfect workplace' in our business?

Naveen Akhund has been working in Human Resources, Diversity, Equality & Inclusion for the last 8 years. in this webinar Naveen will be covering two distinct areas that attendees will learn a lot from:

Inclusive Hiring Practices:

• How to reduce the impact of unconscious bias (panel interviews, removing personal data from CVs during the initial screening stage)
• Helping to change mindsets around hiring from under represented groups. i.e. you are NOT lowering your standards, you are casting a wider net and improving your chances of finding promising talent

How to Retain Talent:

• Talented employees must be given the opportunity to develop their skills and advance within the organisation (aim to promote from within)
• Creating mentorship programmes and providing visibility in front of board members
