Event Details

Are you ready to drive real change in your workforce?

Do you want to harness the full potential of positive actionโ€”without crossing into positive discrimination?


Join us for an interactive and thought-provoking online workshop where we'll explore how boards and leadership teams can use positive action as a strategic tool to create fairer workplaces, foster diverse leadership pipelines, and meet their Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) responsibilities with confidence.


We're excited to welcome expert speakers Sarah Lamont and Anne Palmer of Bevan Brittan LLP, who will demystify the legal framework and share practical, real-world examples of how positive action can be used effectively and lawfully.


Why This Matters

Organisations are under increasing pressure to actively demonstrate their commitment to EDI. But many hesitate to actโ€”fearing legal missteps or the perception of positive discrimination. This workshop will cut through the confusion, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to take bold, lawful steps towards a more inclusive workforce.


What You'll Gain

  • Clarity on Positive Action: What it is, why it matters, and how it can transform recruitment and progression
  • Legal Confidence: Understanding the Equality Act 2010โ€”the do's and don'ts of positive action vs. positive discrimination
  • Real-World Insights: Case studies of organisations successfully using positive action to diversify leadership and talent pipeline
  • Practical Strategies: How boards and leadership teams can implement positive action initiatives to create lasting impact


By the end of the session, you'll leave feeling confident and equipped to champion positive action in your organisationโ€”turning ambition into action for a truly inclusive future.
