WeThrive Customer Event

There has been much time, energy and money invested in diversity over the last years with such good intentions, yet the return on that investment has been so slow and relatively so small that if it was any other line of business we would have radically re-designed it.
In his presentation Simon Fanshawe OBE will review the very latest research and practice in diversity and show you the results of trialling Recruiting for Difference (RfD): his company's system of de-biasing recruitment and promotion, to show how companies can re-design their hiring and promoting practice to achieve higher functioning teams by: creating more diverse talent pipeline managing diversity to greater effect realising the value of difference that individuals bring to companies, and framing diversity as a talent strategy to achieve the core strategic goals of the company or department. Challenging and practical – this session will refocus your approach to diversity so that your numbers actually change, and your business realises the diversity dividend. Simon is a co founder and partner of Diversity by Design a ground breaking consultancy that works with organisations to develop diversity solutions to strategic questions in order to build greater performance.
