Remote working and the opportunity for inclusion
As businesses continue navigating the pandemic and conversations around the future of workplace culture take precedence, we were proud to host this conversation about remote working and the opportunity it gives you to make your workplace radically accessible and inclusive.
You might prefer your teams to be together in the same office, but it’s really important for you to make sure you’re attracting and retaining employees from all backgrounds. This inclusivity creates better diversity of thought in your organisation and a better, happier and more productive workplace. 49% of employees with varying physical abilities, and neuro-diversities, said working from home has improved their work-life – and if you don’t support this new way of working, you’ll be missing out on their talent.
During this discussion with a panel of experts, we talk about how you can ensure you’re maximising diversity and inclusion, whilst building your culture and supporting people.

Why Whistleblowing Protections Are Not Enough
The launch of the CIISA standards marked a significant moment for the creative industries, signalling growing recognition of the need for stronger protections around bullying, harassment and misconduct across film, television and wider media environments.
