Learn how talent from all walks of life can boost business
THE Herald and Genanalytics Diversity Conference, in association with Standard Life Aberdeen, is a platform to discuss how employers and employees can create an environment to accommodate, understand and develop talent from all walks of life.
This year’s Diversity Conference for Scotland takes place on Tuesday, May 22 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow and is the perfect platform to learn how to implement diversity and inclusion in business and understand what support is available to help them thrive.
For businesses, public sector and third sector organisations, this is the opportunity to find out how to get your strategy off the ground and reap the rewards of a diverse and talented workforce.
Lynne Connolly, Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Standard Life Aberdeen said: “Whether you are just starting to think about how diversity can help your organisation or you already have a strategy in place, there is much we can learn from each other.”
Sponsors have lined up to back the event – with Graeme Brewster, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, at City of Glasgow College, saying: “As a key supporter of this year’s conference, we are looking forward to seeing the range of work being delivered to encourage a diverse workforce, and to share our own expertise in the promotion of diversity and equality in the tertiary sector.”
Karen Murray, Skills Development Scotland, Head of National Training Programmes Development said: “SDS recognises that a more diverse workforce can lead to increased productivity, creativity and profitability.”
Wheatley Foundation Director Lorraine Mclaren said: “At Wheatley we want to tackle disadvantage and inequality in our communities and have put diversity and inclusion at the heart of what we do.”
Katy Wedderburn, Head of Employment at Macroberts said: “We are delighted to be on board again as sponsors and would encourage anyone wanting to learn more about the importance of diversity to sign up today.”
