About this Event

Part of the Ipswich Business Thrive Festival by Ipswich Borough Council, People and Productivity: Embedding Inclusion for Better Business is a new kind of business conference for Ipswich and Suffolk.

It will bring employers together to learn how to embed aspects of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) into everyday business. DEIB is proven to benefit people and productivity. And this first-of-its kind event offers a safe space where people can explore how to create positive workplaces by embedding inclusion while also boosting business.

A collaboration between leading Suffolk DEIB specialists – Elma Glasgow (founder of Elma Glasgow Consulting) and Sarah Arch (founder of DisMantle Initiative) - and University of Suffolk Unlocked events*.

This half-day conference promises a range of thought-provoking talks, workshops, panel discussions, and a keynote speech by a nationally recognised DEIB leader. People and Productivity will be a supportive and compelling morning, giving you tools and inspiration to improve inclusion – and the bottom line.

Follow Sarah, Elma and University of Suffolk Research and Knowledge Exchange on LinkedIn for updates.

*Unlocked is a knowledge exchange series designed to bring together alumni, students, academics, businesses, and community organisations in shared spaces of reflection, innovation, and collaboration. An expression of the University of Suffolk's civic purpose, University of Suffolk Unlocked events provide a platform for listening, learning, and leading together with the communities we serve.
