Diversity and Inclusion is a key issue in financial services, with firms actively working to develop more inclusive corporate cultures throughout their organisations.
As part of our ongoing Diversity and Inclusion Series, this webinar will explore some of the diversity charters currently available for banks and financial services firms. It will provide a framework within which our members can understand the unique attributes, differences and crossovers between each of the charters, so they can make informed decisions about supporting them and also gain a clearer understanding of what the pledges, implications and targets would be for their firms.
Join the discussion and find out why these charters can produce meaningful action and make a positive difference to your organisation.
This series of webinars aims to raise awareness and provoke discussion about a wide variety of topics relating to diversity and inclusion within the banking and finance sector. The webinars are standalone, so can be attended independently but our recommendation is to attend all that will be relevant to you and your organisation.
