Please note that lunch will be provided. FWA thanks OMERS for their kind sponsorship of the venue and lunch.
Diversity can bring benefits including increased profitability, creativity and innovation to an organisation. To create sustainable change, inclusion needs to become a mainstream part of organisational life. In short, inclusion will only be achieved when employees understand how to put it into practice at work.
