Work: In Progress – The Future of Work, Workforce and Workplace
Session 3: Diversity, Inclusion and social purpose (in Partnership with Pulsar)
The world of work is changing. From the future of workspaces and ways of working, through to future jobs and talent planning; from commitments to diversity, inclusion and social purpose through to meeting the hiring demands of the growing tech sector.
Streamed live from Belfast, Work: In Progress is an event with a NI heart and soul, but with a focus on themes of global relevance and significance.
Each themed session is accessible as a standalone 1 hr 20 min streamed event (with a small in-person audience) and will encompass a keynote speaker, a panel discussion, as well as an opportunity to hear from 2 Irish tech startups with relevance to the event’s core themes.
In Partnership with Pulsar, in this 2nd session focused on diversity, Inclusion and social purpose we explore:

– Why the pandemic has accelerated the opportunity for workplace change
– Recruitment practices to help prevent unconscious / conscious bias
– Why wellbeing and positive mental health is integral to the Future of Work
