Building a diverse and inclusive delivery organisation
Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become a big talking point in many organizations in recent years:- gender pay gap, policies for menopause, parental leave, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent employees, and many others. But where do you start and how can you influence change in your organizations?
Simon will talk about his own experiences as a neurodivergent, disabled, and gay person, and how that has shaped his approach to building and managing diverse delivery teams.
Covering topics like intersectionality, creating diversity networks, and increasing diversity of recruitment talent pools, Simon will provide practical tips for approaches you could take in your organization.
