Session 1: A Fairer Future: Understanding DE&I Challenges in Ireland
Date: Tuesday, 21 January 2025
Time: 9:30am to 12 noon
Venue: Hays Dublin Office, 26/27a Grafton Street, Dublin, D02 HH24
Join us at the first in our series of four bimonthly DE&I roundtable discussions as we provide insight into how we can effectively create a consciously inclusive workplace, whilst recognising the growing discomfort and divisiveness inherent in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives at work.
During this interactive seminar and roundtable discussion, we’ll be exploring the future of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programmes across Ireland and the continuing importance of creating an inclusive culture with respect, fairness, and cohesion at its core.
During the session, we will focus on:
-
The future of inclusion programmes and the current backlash to DE&I,
-
The impact of changing geopolitical landscapes,
-
The rise of employee activism and challenges to organisational neutrality,
-
Key global movements in legislative, cultural and societal changes,
-
The move to value-driven workplaces and its impact on DE&I
-
Promoting corporate and social cohesion as a way of managing polarising values, perspectives or beliefs,
-
Shifts in demographic trends that are influencing the modern workplace across Ireland.
