HRGV Live | Network Rail & Virgin Media on how HR can take the lead on diversity

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) is a hot topic in the HR space. Not only does a diverse and inclusive organisation boost productivity and morale, it can improve culture too. This will, naturally, have financial benefits for organisations which will contribute to overall business success.

An important consideration for truly driving the D&I agenda in the workplace is having buy-in from the senior leadership team and ensuring that the C-Suite has an implicit understanding of why D&I should be high up on the business agenda. As the dedicated people function, it is HR’s role to take the lead by driving the diversity and business strategy forwards.

For any HR practitioners wanting to achieve greater workforce diversity but not knowing how to go about it, this is luckily one of the key topics being discussed at HR Grapevine’s annual conference tomorrow. This will take place on March 12, 2020, at The Brewery in London.
