Why is it important for workplaces to attend this event?
Racism isn't going away and ignoring it will only make the situation worse. Did you know it is now mandatory to have anti-racism training in Wales? Since the global events following the death of George Floyd then the BLM uprisings and what we are currently seeing in UK with cricket and sports, it should come as no surprise that things need to change now. Everyone must play a role in the change we want to see and this event is a step in the right direction. Especially for organisations who are looking to pave the way.
Many organisations have been focussing too much on diversity and not enough of anti-racism action. While diversity is great and a step in the right direction retaining that talent is key. In order to retain that talent organisations need to make their diverse talent feel safe, feel that they belong and are valued. Proving your organisation's commitment to anti-racism and its importance is everything. People and employees no longer fall for performative gestures and words, they want action.
This event will help organisations increases their company reputation and image as an equitable employer making it an attractive place to work for millennials, gen z and new recruits looking for a place that aligns with their values of social justice over other organisations who ignore racism and look the other way as if it doesn't effect them.
How will this event help me and and my organisation:
- Reduce employee turnover in Black and Brown members of staff.
- Increases your company reputation and image as an equitable employer.
- Help you create a more motivated and productive workforce.
- Allow for enhanced psychological safety for all employees.
- Allow you to retain skills and talent.
- Help you stand out as an employer of choice.
- Reduces complaints, grievances and tribunals.
