Webinar overview

This webinar is part of our 2024 National Inclusion Week programme.  

Join us as we launch our National Inclusion Week activity.  

Together with representatives from IE member organisations we will explore what it means to have impact and create long term cultural change – for ourselves as inclusion professionals, for our organisations and for our customers and stakeholders. Panel members will share their experiences and offer practical tips and insights into how they have embedded impact into their organisations. The round table will finish with an open Q&A to answer your queries and for you to share your own impact stories.
