SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum:  Personal beliefs at work: Managing dissenting views
DESCRIPTION:Join to explore how organisations can navigate differing personal beliefs while maintaining inclusion\, dignity and psychological safety.\n\n\nThis is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams \n \nAudience\nWe 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. \nThis event will be of particular interest to HR\, EDI\, legal\, and senior leaders responsible for culture\, conduct\, and employee relations. \n\n\nAbout the event\nAcross 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: \n\nfreedom of belief and expression\n\n\nprotection from discrimination and harassment\n\n\nthe need for respectful\, inclusive workplace cultures\n\nThis 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. \n\n\nBackground\nBITC’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. \n\n\nAbout Business in the Community’s Peer Learning Forums\nBITC’s Peer Learning Forums provide a confidential environment to discuss common issues\, solutions\, and good practice. There will be an emphasis on discussion and sharing experiences. All contributions from businesses will be confidential within the group and won’t be shared externally by BITC. \n \nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact events@bitc.org.uk  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
