About this event

Brighty People presents:

The People and Culture Forum- Inclusive Leadership & Neurodiversity with 50:50 Futures and Rosie Brighty

Hosted from the Q11 Building at Quorum Park.

Inclusive Leadership & Neurodiversity

Leaders all have a responsibility to not only own and be active with the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) agenda and strategy in the organisation, but to also role model and create psychologically safe spaces for colleagues. Your approach to leadership and style of leadership is crucial to how you manage colleagues at an individual level and recognise their uniqueness.

What to expect?

50:50 will be covering some of the fundamental concepts of diversity and inclusion along with their intersectional and holistic approach. They will be covering aspects of what inclusive leadership is and why it matters along with some best practice strategies and a whistle stop of their Seven Steps for Better Balance framework. They are thrilled to be partnering with Rosie Brighty who will be sharing her lived experience of being neuro-divergent exploring what that means and including some top tips on inclusive practices and ways to support from leadership positions, when it comes to neurodiversity specifically.

Who is this network for?

If you are a leader, people or culture lead looking to increase inclusion, this workshop will provide you with space and expert insights to consider your own approaches. You will also gain essential tools and resources to further develop your practices and perspectives.

Every month we run workshops on topics that will give you the knowledge and skills you need to attract, develop and retain a productive, engaged workforce.
