About the event

Through consultations with current and past leaders from the BITC Race Leadership Team, senior business leaders, and leading academics, we have identified key actions for UK employers to drive equality and fairness.

Key Focus Areas:

Evolving the Role of the Executive Sponsor for Race: In 2015 32% of employees said they had an executive sponsor for race. What is the picture now? What is the role of the executive sponsor in driving change and galvanising leadership commitment at the top and how can this be further enhanced for impact?
Diversifying the Pipeline to Senior Leadership: What concrete steps must employers take to include the widest range of talent in their organisations in their leadership pipelines and open pathways to the “top table” for underrepresented talent with the intersections of ethnicity and social background, age, gender, and disability?
Leveraging Data for Inclusion: How can data-driven insights help to shape racial equality and fairness strategies and track progress?

Additionally, we will be launching:

A new 10-point Leadership Trend Paper with calls to action for leaders
Updated Goals & Targets guide
Updated Being Visible Leader guide
New sponsorship, mentoring, coaching framework to support executive sponsors.

This event provides a unique opportunity to understand how you can use these insights to reinforce your commitments to race inclusion and drive impactful change within your organisation.
