Business in the Community (BITC) members who have advisory in their membership package. Our Peer Learning Forums (PLF) are open to all members who have advisory in their membership package – 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. Wellbeing and inclusion practitioners, HR professionals and ERG leads will find this session particularly useful.

About the event
“What’s measured is treasured” and “what’s measured gets managed” are commonly used phrases in the world of responsible business. Why is it that so many organisations report difficulty in determining the right measurements to demonstrate the bottom-line benefits of a healthier and happier workforce? This session will present an ideal opportunity for BITC members to learn and share what data and insights are really shifting the dial.
BITC’s Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) takes a measurement lens and applies it to the whole of the Workwell Model, confirming its fundamental importance in today’s lean operating environment.

Inclusion & Wellbeing Champion Forum: Impacts of AI for disabled employees
2026-03-11 10:00 - 11:00 | Online event
Join us for an opportunity to discuss shaping the risks and opportunities for employment of disabled employees presented by AI adoption.

This is an online event.
Audience
This event is open to Inclusion (Gender, Race and Inclusion) and Wellbeing Champions.

Background

BITC found that 90% of organisations are considering the way AI interacts with the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda. A tailored focus on the impact of AI and disabled employees must be prioritised to reduce the risk of stalling progress on the disability pay and employment gap.

About the Event
Are you using or considering AI and/or automation technologies in your workplace? Have you considered the impacts of AI on disabled employees?
Join BITC and the University of Birmingham to explore the impacts of AI on disabled people in the UK through the AI-EMPOWERED research project with Dr Daniel Wheatley, Director of the Work Inclusivity Research Centre, University of Birmingham.
This champion forum shares expert-led insight and provides space to contribute to understanding the impacts of AI and automation on disabled employees. Regardless of your organisation’s maturity or current use of AI technologies, research estimates that globally 92 million jobs will be displaced by 2030.
Disabled employees already experience disproportionate marginalisation and barriers to accessing good work, an inequity at risk of rising without responsible AI adoption.
This event will:
– Explore the AI Empowered research project aims
– Ensure inclusivity remains at the forefront when considering the use of AI
– Facilitate best practice learning to support disabled people in the AI era

Business in the Community’s work on Artificial Intelligence and Wellbeing:
Business in the Community has responded to the rapidly evolving rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through our Responsible AI labs, spotlighting critical challenges AI poses if businesses fail to embrace responsible integration. Considering the impact of AI on marginalised groups has remained imperative to this approach, exploring the Gendered Impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Racial Bias in AI.
BITC’s Wellbeing campaign and BITC Workwell model positions thriving people at the heart of organisational purpose, culture and business strategy, providing a framework for an intersectional, inclusive and people-first approach. Inclusive AI practice should consider the lived experience of the one in seven workers in Britain with a disability and the broader workforce wellbeing implications of adoption to identify risks and mitigate accordingly.

Guest Speaker
Our guest speaker is Dr Daniel Wheatley, Director of the Work Inclusivity Research Centre, University of Birmingham.
He will be discussing the AI EMPOWERED research project, exploring the impacts of AI on disabled people in the UK.

Peer Learning Forum: Working your way: employee passports and job crafting
2026-04-16 10:00 - 11:00 | Online event
Explore how employee passports, flexible adjustments, and holistic job-crafting approaches can support sustainable wellbeing at work.

This is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams

Audience
We are pleased to welcome 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, wellbeing, and EDI professionals seeking practical ways to embed inclusive wellbeing through job design.

About the event
As organisations respond to rising expectations around flexibility, inclusion and health at work, many are moving beyond reactive adjustments toward proactive, person-centred job design.
This session will examine how employee passports and job-crafting frameworks can: – –

Enable continuity of support across roles and managers
Reduce barriers for disabled employees and those with fluctuating health conditions
Embed wellbeing into everyday organisational practice rather than standalone initiatives

Join us to explore practical approaches, shared challenges, and emerging good practice in creating work that works for everyone.

Background
BITC’s Workwell Model highlights the interdependence of physical, mental, social and financial wellbeing, shaped by leadership behaviours, job design, and organisational culture. This forum builds on BITC’s wider work supporting employers to create inclusive, healthy, and sustainable workplaces where people can thrive.

Peer Learning Forum: Personal beliefs at work: Managing dissenting views
2026-05-21 10:00 - 11:00 | Online event
Join to explore how organisations can navigate differing personal beliefs while maintaining inclusion, dignity and psychological safety.

This is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams

Audience
We are pleased to welcome 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, EDI, legal, and senior leaders responsible for culture, conduct, and employee relations.

About the event
Across many workplaces, conversations about identity, values, and beliefs are becoming more visible—and at times more contested. Leaders and HR professionals are increasingly asked to balance:

freedom of belief and expression

protection from discrimination and harassment

the need for respectful, inclusive workplace cultures

This session will provide a structured space to reflect on real-world dilemmas, share organisational approaches, and consider practical strategies for managing dissent in ways that uphold both inclusion and fairness.

Background
BITC’s inclusion work emphasises psychological safety, belonging, and respectful dialogue as core foundations of responsible business. Supporting employers to navigate complexity—rather than avoid it—is central to creating cultures where difference can exist without harm.
