Peer Learning Forum: Promoting internal hiring & development

Wed, 25 March 2026 @ 10:00 – 11:00

This is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams
Audience
Business in the Community (BITC) members, as well as non-members who have an advisory package with us. Hosted by our issue experts, there are 20 forums a year, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges, solutions and ideas. This event will be of particular interest to HR and EDI professionals.
Background
Creating an inclusive workplace does not end with Opening Doors – it must continue through how we support, develop and promote our people.
Inclusive progression ensures that talent is recognised, nurtured and celebrated. By being intentional about feedback, development opportunities and promotion practices, leaders can foster environments where everyone has a fair chance to thrive
About the event
Building on this foundation, this session will look at how creating equitable access to development and progression from within your organisation is an essential component of workforce planning. Reflecting the communities you serve at every level of your organisation will drive innovation, productivity and align with long-term organisational needs. We will discuss what best practice in inclusive progression looks like, and how to reduce bias, enhance decision-making and ensure that talent is nurtured consistently across your organisation.
