Breaking Barriers: The Power of Perception in Cultivating Diversity

Location
Fidelis MGU

The London HR Connection invites you to our next panel-led discussion where we will be debating the role of perception in cultivating diversity. Kindly sponsored by Network HR and hosted by Fidelis MGU, this debate will focus on the interplay between branding, perception and diversity and promises to delve into the dynamics that shape talent attraction and the cultivation of diverse talent.
