Diversity and compliance

Ah, diversity and compliance. The perpetual bugbears of Learning and Development. Often treated dismissively as if they are something we only do reluctantly, they are in fact the one thing we can be sure the business will demand of us, and the one area where we can be guaranteed to make a difference to the lives of both individuals and the organisation - if they are done right. So, how do you do diversity and compliance right? Join our two expert speakers to learn how.

Changing actions and attitudes - diversity training with impact

Angela Cooke, Diversity, inclusion and well-being manager, PwC

Unconscious bias is a major barrier to a diverse and inclusive workforce, but how can it be managed? Not by appealing to the conscious mind -- 'chalk and talk' training is notoriously ineffective at altering behaviours and attitudes -- instead it needs a careful appeal to the emotions combined with a focus on practical behavioural change. Join Angela Cooke as she reveals a successful approach to diversity training, and the metrics showing it has worked.

A systematic approach to compliance training

Karl White, Organisational Development Manager, Mercedes-Benz

Like any large operation with finance and retail departments, Mercedes-Benz's UK operation is subject to a raft of directives and legal requirements. But the resulting compliance training need be neither dull nor a drain on the L&D team's resources. In this session Karl White explores how it is possible to keep well within required legal boundaries by keeping L&D operationally smart and providing great learning content.
