Upcoming sessions 

1. Deep dives into the pillars of the toolkit | 17 March 2025

The toolkits focus on five key pillars of actions employers can take to improve their EDI:

• Commitment and collaboration
• Engagement and recruitment
• Retention and progression
• Building an inclusive culture
• Suppliers

Five hour-long sessions will take place, one for each pillar, where our facilitators will bring these to life and help you understand how to translate these directly into your organisation.

Each session will have the following format:

• An initial introduction to this EDI consultancy service and thought-provoking questions to attendees relating to the pillar the session focuses on
• An initial introduction to the toolkits
• The pillar will be introduced and attendees asked about what challenges they’re facing in relation to it
• A workshop style segment where our facilitators will seek to help attendees with the challenges they’re facing and suggest practical solutions suited to their context
• Q&A before concluding the session

2. Humanisation and networking half-day | Spring 2025

This is an in-person half-day event open to employers of all sectors and sizes, focused on humanising the work of the toolkits, and with a particular focus on intersectionality to build understanding of the challenges marginalised groups face in the economy.

Keynote speakers and industry experts speak on related subjects, breakout workshops are held to enable employers to explore these themes more concretely, and time is built in to enable networking.

3. Reflections | May 2025

This final round of events is again split into individual sectors. These are discussion-led sessions, facilitated by breakout groups, to allow participants to reflect on their learnings throughout the programme, discuss their progress and successes with other learners, explore solutions to challenges and difficulties, extract lessons they’ve learnt and evaluate the implementation service and offer feedback on how it can improve.
