Our latest Diversity, Inclusion, Culture and Engagement Newsletter is out.  In this edition, we cover topics from: Where awards and incentives can backfire; self-sabotaging behaviour in the workplace; the impact on perceptions of faith with less in-work interaction and in praise of boredom.

Most employee networks, employee resource groups (ERGs) and affinity groups are run by volunteers.  We know the role is hard and can often require specific skills and balancing time.

​Our Strategy and Skills programme provides you and your networks with focused time to: build ERG-specific leadership skills; plan for success – and measure impact; keep on top of best practice and build confidence and momentum to deliver. We have program for incoming/new leaders and those with experience as well.
