About the seminar:

Across our economy, we're wasting talent just when we need it most. This was a key finding from CMI's Everyone Economy report, which sought to explain why inclusion was no longer a side issue for many organisations, but a business priority. CMI found that compared to what you'd expect given our population demographics, the UK is currently missing:

*560k female managers

*420k managers from lower socio-economic background

*290k managers with disabilities

*100k managers from diverse ethnic backgrounds

The data shows that more diverse and inclusive organisations outperform their rivals. The best businesses know that their managers and leaders are key to delivering a successful culture.

Ann will set out why inclusion is increasingly being seen as a business priority, how you create an inclusive culture in practice, and what individual managers and leaders can do to deliver this agenda. She will also present brand new data from CMI's latest Better Management campaign, detailing the damage that bad managers are doing to their organisations and the wider economy.
