We also know from multiple studies that having a more inclusive workplace where you feel safe to be yourself can have positive effects on mental health and satisfaction at work. So if progress is better for business, and better for people, then what’s causing delay?Catch up on our latest webinar to find out:
We were joined by a panel of inclusion experts to find out how you can make your workforce happier and more productive by being more inclusive and empowering people to speak up.
Panellists:
Amrit Nijjar, Inclusion and Belonging Manager, Tarmac
Amrit is an Inclusion and Belonging Manager who works with companies to work towards building a truly inclusive culture where everyone feels safe and able to truly be themselves.
Amrit believes if people have a true sense of belonging, they will truly excel in their roles, and therefore in their performance at work. She gained global praise in her company with a ‘Proud to be me’ campaign, which gave leadership teams and employees at all levels a platform to get to know each other and appreciate differences more than they may previously have done.
Previously an award-winning engagement and communications professional with over 15 years of experience, Amrit uses this expertise to help embed Inclusion and Diversity action plans within her company.
