What’s this webinar about?
Diversity and inclusion have become hugely important to organizations worldwide, yet many still aren’t confident they understand the issues or know what actions to take to address D&I in their own workplace. This webinar introduces BS ISO 30415:2021 Human resource management. Diversity and inclusion, a new international standard that gives guidance on achieving diversity and inclusion in organizations of all sizes, sectors and types.
Who is this webinar for?
Anyone with an interest in D&I, whether or not they’ve used a standard before. Job roles might include:
- Diversity and inclusion manager
- HR advisor
- Business partner/manager
- Personnel manager
- Line manager with people management responsibilities
- Procurement and supply chain manager
- Customer service manager
It is also valuable to entrepreneurs and small business owners; senior management: directors, CEOs, etc; and organizations without a dedicated HR function.
What will participants gain?
They’ll learn from D&I experts about the background to the standard, its contents and how organizations that want to use it can get started. Participants will also get a post-event copy of the webinar presentations and a recording to share with colleagues.
