Diversity and Productivity Events
with Aviva
We gathered in Bristol for an engaging event where researchers from our project presented their findings. Attendees took part in stimulating discussions on how diversity drives productivity and growth in organisations. The event featured thought-provoking talks, valuable networking sessions, and insights into how embracing diversity in all its forms can lead to high-performing, inclusive workplaces. Industry experts and thought leaders shared practical strategies for fostering a culture of inclusivity and growth. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the future of diverse, productive workplaces and connect with others passionate about driving meaningful change.
