There will also be plenty of time to network with other HR leaders to share experiences.

    Senior stakeholder buy-in: The role of leadership in inclusive workplaces

    Senior stakeholder buy-in is essential for building truly inclusive workplaces. When leadership actively supports Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, it signals that inclusion is a strategic priority. Leaders shape organisational culture through their decisions and behaviours, and their visible commitment - via policy, resourcing, and communication - drives sustainable, organisation-wide change.

    Key Learnings:

    • Leaders shape culture - Senior stakeholders set the tone for inclusion through their actions and priorities

    • DEI must be strategic - Integrating DEI into core business goals ensures lasting impact

    • Accountability drives change - Progress relies on holding leaders responsible through clear metrics and reporting

    Data-driven DEI: Ensuring short-term accountability & long-term progress

    A data-driven approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) enables organisations to move beyond good intentions by measuring where they stand, setting clear goals, and tracking progress over time. By collecting and analysing demographic, pay, promotion, and engagement data, companies can identify systemic gaps and implement targeted interventions. Embedding DEI metrics into leadership accountability, transparent reporting, and continuous feedback loops ensures short-term results while building the foundation for long-term cultural change.

    The session will cover:

    • Disaggregated data reveals hidden inequities and informs tailored action

    • Accountability mechanisms - like leadership KPIs and transparent reporting - are critical to drive progress

    • Long-term DEI success depends on sustained cultural transformation, not one-off initiatives

    Building momentum: How to empower employee resource groups that don't burn out

    Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are vital for fostering inclusion, supporting marginalised voices, and driving cultural change - but without the right structure and support, they can become overburdened and unsustainable. Empowering ERGs means providing clear goals, executive sponsorship, formal budgets, and recognition for their work. When organisations value ERGs as strategic partners they build momentum while protecting members from burnout.

    We'll learn more on:

    • How to provide the structural support ERGs need - such as funding, leadership sponsorship, and protected time - to operate effectively

    • How to set focused goals and define success metrics to keep ERG efforts impactful and manageable

    • Ways to recognise, reward, and retain ERG leaders to promote long-term engagement and prevent burnout
