DESCRIPTION:Join peers to share your challenges\, learnings\, experiences and best practice on inclusive recruitment.\n\n\nAudience\nOpen only to Business in the Community (BITC) members who are Opening Doors signatories. \n\n\nBackground\nCreating meaningful employment is one of the most significant ways that businesses can contribute to the livelihoods of individuals and communities\, and is\, for many the only sustainable route out of poverty. \nOffering quality work experience\, adopting inclusive approaches to recruitment\, and breaking down barriers to entering work for people from disadvantaged groups can benefit businesses by helping them tackle skills shortages\, build new talent pipelines\, boost retention rates\, and achieve higher productivity. \nBusiness in the Community is calling on employers to commit to making job roles more accessible to diverse talent by committing to take action through our Opening Doors inclusive recruitment campaign.  \n\n\nAbout the online forum\nOpening Doors is BITC’s inclusive recruitment campaign\, which aims to make 2 million jobs more accessible by 2025. Signatories of the campaign are invited to join bi-annual forums\, which allow peer discussion on topical recruitment issues. \nWe are receiving a growing number of queries from employers on anonymised recruitment: to what extent does it make jobs more accessible to diverse talent\, how can it be implemented effectively\, and what are the potential pitfalls? \nAt this forum\, attendees will; \n\nDiscover how employers are using anonymised recruitment practices at different stages of the recruitment process.\nHear from BITC Inclusion Advisers about how anonymised recruitment can be used effectively.\nShare experiences of anonymised recruitment with Opening Doors employers.\n\nDiscuss frequently asked questions\, including: \n\nApplication/assessment/offer – is anonymised recruitment more effective in some parts of the recruitment process than others?\nWhat are the benefits of anonymised recruitment and how can you ensure it works well?\nWhat are some challenges associated with anonymised recruitment and how can risk be mitigated?\nHow else can bias be reduced in the recruitment process?\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect together on commitments and the progress made so far. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact Florence Hughes\, Events Manager at BITC\, for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community

SUMMARY:The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality 2024 Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join this virtual event to gain an in-depth understanding of The Times Top Employers for Gender Equality\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nThis event is open to members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). It has been designed to be of most benefit to those working in Corporate / External affairs\, CSR/Responsible Business/ ESG\, Diversity and Inclusion and HR/People/Talent management. \n\n\nBackground\nThe Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality is the UK’s most high-profile and well-established listing of employers taking action to create workplaces where everyone\, regardless of gender\, can thrive. \nWomen and minoritised genders are disproportionately affected in times of more significant political and economic uncertainty\, as gender inequalities deeply entrenched in working life have a greater impact. At a time when the UK continues to experience a cost of living crisis\, women are paid less\, are more likely to be employed in severely insecure work and have less access to highly paid\, highly skilled roles due to the need of more women having to balance work and caring responsibilities. As such\, the need for employer intervention to ensure greater gender equality and avoid a backslide in progress has never been greater. \nAbout the Event \n\n\nAt this event\, delegates will gain an in-depth understanding of The Times Top Employers for Gender Equality 2024\, including: \n\nwho can apply\nthe application and assessment process\ntimelines for 2024\ncosts\nsupport for BITC members\nonline content and planned events.\n\nPrevious applicants will also join us and share their top tips for successfully completing the application. \n\n\nAbout Business in the Community’s work on Gender Equality\nBITC’s gender equality campaign exists to accelerate progress towards a truly equal working world\, where someone’s gender doesn’t determine their chance of fair pay\, equal influence\, or shape how included and safe they are at work. \nThe commercial imperative for achieving more gender-equal workplaces is clear: it enhances employee engagement\, boosts productivity\, meets the diverse needs of customers and suppliers\, and improves brand reputation\, leading more gender-balanced workforces to outperform their less-balanced peers by as much as 2 percentage points annually. \nLearn more about how Business in the Community (BITC) can help you create a more gender equal workplace. \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Florence Hughes\, Events Manager with any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community

SUMMARY:Race at Work Charter Surgery January 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to learn more about the early insights from the recent Race at Work Charter survey.\n\n\nAudience\nThis event is open to members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). \n\n\nBackground\nThe monthly Race at Work Charter surgeries are an opportunity for attendees to speak directly with Sandra Kerr CBE\, Race Equality Director\, BITC and ask any questions about the Charter\, the survey\, or race offerings at BITC. \nThese surgeries benefit anyone wishing to sign or build on their commitment to the Race at Work Charter. \n\n\nAbout the webinar\nThis webinar will provide employers with a space to ask questions about the feedback available from the Race at Work Charter 2023 survey and what the commitment to action is that we ask of employers who have signed the Charter. There is also an opportunity to peak into what insights are in the pipeline. \n\n\nAbout the Race at Work Charter\nThe Race at Work Charter is seven calls to action to ensure that ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels in an organisation. The actions include: \n\nAppoint an Executive Sponsor for race.\nCapture ethnicity data and publicise progress.\nCommit at board level to zero tolerance of harassment and bullying.\nMake clear that supporting equality in the workplace is the responsibility of all leaders and managers.\nTake action that supports Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse people’s career progression.\nSupport race inclusion allies in the workplace.\nInclude Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains.\n\nLearn more about BITC’s Race at Work Charter. \n\n\nBusiness in the Community’s work on race equality\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) is working to ensure all employees feel they belong\, have a voice\, are valued and can be their true selves. \nFor over 27 years\, BITC has been campaigning and helping organisations to ensure Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels. \nAll organisations want to recruit from the widest talent pool and help successful applicants progress. It is key to future productivity and performance. Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse staff still encounter significant disparities in employment and progression*. The government-sponsored Race in the workplace: The McGregor-Smith Review found that greater progress and positive outcomes are needed to ensure all organisations benefit from the wealth of diverse talent and tap into the potential economic boost of £24bn annually by tackling racial disparities in the workplace and labour market The findings led BITC to create the Race at Work Charter\, with 85 founding signatory organisations committed to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica Hart\, Events Coordinator at BITC for more information.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\n\n\nReferences\n*Business in the Community (2021) Race at Work 2021 Scorecard Report

By thinking strategically about the implications for their business\, the visit gives a different understanding of the long-term impact and benefit that can be delivered for both business and communities. \n \nAbout The Prince’s Seeing is Believing Council\nOn behalf of HM The King The Prince’s Seeing is Believing Council is continuing to ensure that the values and the prestige of the programme are maintained and sustained. \nThe Council comprises influential and respected business leaders who have attended and led more than three visits and have been personal advocates for the programme’s power to drive action. \nCouncil members: \n\nChair: John Studzinski CBE\, Founder and Chairman of Genesis Foundation\, Managing Director & Vice Chairman of PIMCO \nAllan Leighton\, Chairman of The Co-operative Group\, Pizza Express\, Element\, Simba and BrewDog \nBob Wigley\, Chairman of UK Finance\, Vesta Global Holdings Ltd\, Vizolution Ltd and Bink Ltd \nCharles Allen\, Lord Allen of Kensington\, Chairman Global Media & Entertainment Limited\nChristine Hodgson CBE\, Chair\, Severn Trent Plc \nLord Mark Price\, Founder of WorkL and former government Minister of Trade \nSir Richard Lambert\, Chair\, Bloomsbury Publishing plc and Bradford Literature Festival \nDame Vivian Hunt\, Chief Innovation Officer\, UnitedHealth Group\nSir William Castell LVO\, FMedSci  \nZahra Bahrololoumi CBE\, Chief Executive Officer\, Salesforce UK & Ireland\n\n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nFor more information\, please contact the events team at Business in the Community\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community \n\n\nThe ‘Seeing is Believing’ visits are made possible with generous support from Salesforce. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:Engage in a solution-based discussion surrounding the six catalysts of responsible business enabling you to take action within your organisation now!\n\n\nAbout the event \n\n\nNot enough progress has been made towards achieving the Global Goals\, also known as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

SUMMARY:PLF: What does good supplier engagement look like?
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our Peer Learning Forum\, where we will share information about the guidance for setting supplier engagement targets.\n\n\nThis is a virtual event. \nAudience\nAttendance is by invitation only. \n\n\nThe aims and objectives of the event\nJoin us at our Peer Learning Forum (PLF)\, where we will share information about the guidance for setting supplier engagement targets from SBTI\, CDP \, and GHG Protocol and attempt to distil this best practice into a common set of themes. We will also hear from Business in the Community (BITC) members who have started to implement supplier engagement programmes and what they have learnt along the way. \n\n\nFor many companies\, supply chain-related emissions are the largest source of emissions\, and the most challenging to reduce. Supply chain emissions are on average 11.4 times larger than direct emissions from operations and can account for over 90% of a companies carbon footprint. \nHowever\, despite progress in recent years to set net zero targets in line with legally binding commitments from the UK Government and devolved administrations\, most lag behind on the setting of supplier engagement targets to tackle emissions beyond Scopes 1 and 2. \nAccording to Anthesis Group\, over 1200 companies have set Science-Based Targets in the last few years\, yet just over 12% of those have set specific supplier engagement targets. \nSupplier engagement targets offer a tangible way to influence decarbonisation within your supply chain when specific emissions data is hard to obtain. These targets usually focus on engaging a defined set of suppliers to set their own science-based targets on all applicable scopes and categories\, as well as identifying what support\, upskilling and investment might be needed to help smaller suppliers. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact Megan Gillett\, Events Coordinator at BITC for further information.\n\n\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community

SUMMARY:Race at Work Charter Surgery November 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to learn more about the early insights from the recent Race at Work Charter survey.\n\n\nAudience\nThis event is open to members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). \n\n\nBackground\nThe monthly Race at Work Charter surgeries are an opportunity for attendees to speak directly with Sandra Kerr\, Race Equality Director\, BITC and ask any questions about the Charter\, the survey\, or race offerings at BITC. \nThese surgeries benefit anyone wishing to sign or build on their commitment to the Race at Work Charter. \n\n\nAbout the webinar\nThis webinar will provide employers with a space to ask questions about the feedback available from the Race at Work Charter 2023 survey and what the commitment to action is that we ask of employers who have signed the Charter. There is also an opportunity to peak into what insights are in the pipeline. \n\n\nAbout the Race at Work Charter\nThe Race at Work Charter is seven calls to action to ensure that ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels in an organisation. The actions include: \n\nAppoint an Executive Sponsor for race.\nCapture ethnicity data and publicise progress.\nCommit at board level to zero tolerance of harassment and bullying.\nMake clear that supporting equality in the workplace is the responsibility of all leaders and managers.\nTake action that supports Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse people’s career progression.\nSupport race inclusion allies in the workplace.\nInclude Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains.\n\nLearn more about BITC’s Race at Work Charter. \n\n\nBusiness in the Community’s work on race equality\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) is working to ensure all employees feel they belong\, have a voice\, are valued and can be their true selves. \nFor over 27 years\, BITC has been campaigning and helping organisations to ensure Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels. \nAll organisations want to recruit from the widest talent pool and help successful applicants progress. It is key to future productivity and performance. Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse staff still encounter significant disparities in employment and progression*. The government-sponsored Race in the workplace: The McGregor-Smith Review found that greater progress and positive outcomes are needed to ensure all organisations benefit from the wealth of diverse talent and tap into the potential economic boost of £24bn annually by tackling racial disparities in the workplace and labour market The findings led BITC to create the Race at Work Charter\, with 85 founding signatory organisations committed to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace. \nFind out more about BITC’s work on race equality. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica Hart\, Events Coordinator at BITC for more information.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\n\n\nReferences\n*Business in the Community (2021) Race at Work 2021 Scorecard Report
