Race to Equality: Supporting BAME Colleagues at Work

Race to Equality: Supporting BAME Colleagues at Work

Tuesday, 18th May 2021 | Attend in London or Online

Black, Asian & Ethnic Minority staff are over-qualified and underpromoted in workplaces across the UK. Consequently, neither organisations nor individuals are achieving their potential, with a cost of up to £24bn per annum for the UK economy.

With organisations being pushed to publish their ethnicity pay gap data, it is time to start addressing the disparities that exist in our workplaces.

There are numerous steps you must be taking to tackle race inequality and secure the benefits of diversity for your colleagues and organisation alike.  

Join us for ‘Race to Equality: Supporting BAME Colleagues at Work’ to receive crucial expert guidance on how to foster a more representative workforce and create positive culture change at all levels of your organisation.

Note: We particularly encourage attendance from professionals who do not identify as Black or Asian or Ethnic Minority. The day offers a space for constructive and open discussion, and an opportunity to explore your role in enacting change.

Delegates will have the option of attending this event in-person in London or online. Any social-distancing requirements necessary at the time will be in place, with the safety of delegates and speakers at the heart of the day.

On-demand video recordings of each session will also be made available to delegates following the event. 

Why attend? 

  • Learn how to remove the barriers to Black, Asian & Ethnic Minority employees' employment and progression in your workplace
  • Bring new, innovative ideas around supporting Black, Asian & Ethnic Minority colleagues back to your organisation, with the insight needed to put them into practice 
  • Hear from leading figures about fostering Black, Asian & Ethnic Minority employees' skills and potential 
  • Enjoy an opportunity to network with expert speakers and fellow colleagues 
  • Earn a CPD certificate for your personal progression
  • Receive on-demand video recordings of all sessions, for your reference after the event

Key speakers: 

  • Rob Neil OBE, Director & Inclusion Consultant, Krystal Alliance
