SUMMARY:Race at Work Charter Surgery June 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). We also encourage those who are attending the ‘Executive Sponsors and Network Chairs’ Event on 21 March to attend this surgery. \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 organisations commitment to the Race at Work Charter. \n\n\nAbout the webinar\nThis surgery will offer attendees a chance for discussion around the Race at Work Charter survey paper one – leadership and executive sponsors for race and impactful employee network chairs within organisations. \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 look at 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\nBITC 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

SUMMARY:Windrush 76th Year: Leaders' Inspiring Progress
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to recognise the contributions of the Windrush Generation as part of the 76th Anniversary.\n\n\nAudience\nOpen to all Business in the Community (BITC) members and non-members. This event is designed for HR and people management managers/practitioners\, diversity and inclusion managers/practitioners and senior managers. \n\n\nBackground\nWindrush Day takes place on 22 June every year\, to tribute the HMT Empire Windrush ship which arrived at Tilbury Docks\, Kent in 1948. It carried people from across the various British Commonwealth Caribbean islands\, who had been invited to work in the UK to help rebuild its infrastructure and provide their expertise\, following the devastating impact of the second world war. This migration was to span 20 years. \n\n\nThe importance of Race Equality\nAt Business in the Community\, we mark this day every year. This is part of our ongoing campaign championing Race Equality in the workplace. \nAction by employers could boost the UK economy and lead to increased productivity and returns in the workplace.* \nHowever\, these potential gains are stifled by the barriers faced by ethnically diverse talent in the workplace. ‘At this rate\, it would take over 50 years to reach proportional representation of Black talent in finance and professional services’. Moreover\, representation figures from 2022 Office of National Statistics UK population data show that the pace of change has slowed: 50 years could become up to 70 years.’** \n\n\nAbout the event\nFollowing on from last year’s successful event\, which marked the 75th-anniversary celebrations\, we spoke to three fantastic women and BITC Race Leadership Team that descended from the Windrush Generation. They are in the top table of key industries in the UK in our Windrush at the Top: The Black Talent Scorecard event. \nThis year’s event will have an all-male panel of senior leaders\, who are in the top table of key industries in the UK. By joining this event you will: \n\nLearn practical tips on increasing the rate of recruitment\, retention\, and progression of talent from diverse ethnic backgrounds at senior levels.\nRecognise the contributions of the Windrush generation\, 76 years on.\nHear the stories of senior leaders\, descended from the Windrush Generation\, who have progressed to the top table of key industries in the UK.\nDiscover the early insights of the ‘Leadership\, employees\, and procurement’ survey\, in collaboration with YouGov\, which promotes diverse and inclusive supply chains.\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nRichard Iferenta\, Partner and Vice-Chair\, KPMG and Chair\, BITC’s Race Equality Leadership Team\nJustin Onuekwusi\, Chief Investment Officer\, St James’s Place (SJP)\, and on BITC’s Race Equality Leadership Team\nRoland Ilube OBE\, SVP Finance – Mobility\, Shell\, and on BITC’s Race Equality Leadership Team\nSandra Kerr CBE\, Race Equality Director\, BITC \n\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 \n\n\nReferences\n*Department for Business\, Energy & Industrial Strategy\, (2017) Race in the workplace: The McGregor-Smith Review \n*McKinsey & Company\, (2020) Diversity Wins: How Inclusion Matters \n**Bain & Compant\, (2024) Why We Need to Pick up the Pace of Black Representation in Finance and Professional Services in the UK
