EDI – It's not personal

About this event

Join us for "EDI – It's not personal" where we'll discuss equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Led by Dr Jenny Rodriguez, we look at the topic of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, considering some of the current challenges and exploring our collective responsibility as people professionals through questions and answers with the expertise of an academic in the field.

Attendees will be asked to submit their questions in advance of the session, although interaction during the session will also be welcome.
