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.
