SUMMARY:Race Equality Campaign 30 Year Anniversary Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn the key actions for UK employers to promote fairness and equality to create truly inclusive workplaces ready for the future.\n \n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nThis is event is open to both members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). It would be of interest to anyone who has signed the Race at Work Charter or who participated in the ‘Leadership\, employees and procurement’ YouGov survey\, particularly leaders and Executive Sponsors for Race. \n\n\nBackground\n2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the BITC Race Equality campaign. We will be sharing some fresh insights and updated evidence on trends linked to the Race at Work Charter captured within our most recent Leadership\, Employees\, and Procurement survey\, with YouGov in June 2024. This new data fed into our Diverse and Inclusive Supply Chains Insights report and builds on the evidence gathered in our Race at Work Survey series (2015–2021)\, providing a deeper understanding of racial disparities\, fairness and access to opportunities in UK workplaces. \n\n\nAbout the event\nThrough consultations with current and past leaders from the BITC Race Leadership Team\, senior business leaders\, and leading academics\, we have identified key actions for UK employers to drive equality and fairness. \nKey Focus Areas: \n\nEvolving the Role of the Executive Sponsor for Race: In 2015 32% of employees said they had an executive sponsor for race. What is the picture now? What is the role of the executive sponsor in driving change and galvanising leadership commitment at the top and how can this be further enhanced for impact?\nDiversifying the Pipeline to Senior Leadership: What concrete steps must employers take to include the widest range of talent in their organisations in their leadership pipelines and open pathways to the “top table” for underrepresented talent with the intersections of ethnicity and social background\, age\, gender\, and disability?\nLeveraging Data for Inclusion: How can data-driven insights help to shape racial equality and fairness strategies and track progress?\n\nAdditionally\, we will be launching: \n\nA new 10-point Leadership Trend Paper with calls to action for leaders\nUpdated Goals and Targets guide\nUpdated Being Visible Leader guide\nNew sponsorship\, mentoring\, coaching framework to support executive sponsors.\n\nAdditionally\, we will be publishing an insights paper and toolkit at this event. This event provides a unique opportunity to understand how you can use these insights to reinforce your commitments to race inclusion and drive impactful change within your organisation. \n\n\nSpeakers\nSandra Kerr CBE\, Race Equality Director\, Business in the Community will be chairing the event\, and we are delighted to have some speakers already secured: \nAlbertha Charles Partner PWC Global and UK Asset and Wealth Management Leader and member of BITC Race Leadership Team \nJustin Onuekwusi\, Chief Investment Officer\, St James’s Place (SJP) and member of BITC Race Leadership Team \nRichard Iferenta\, Partner and Vice Chair\, KPMG\, and BITC Race Leadership Team Chair \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact events@bitc.org.uk 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
