Building a culture of inclusivity: Why D&I is for everyone

The broadcast/streaming sector has struggled to build a diverse workforce particularly in engineering roles where it competes against big tech for talent. As businesses with diverse talent often report stronger results, better culture and increased creativity, the long-term goal of attracting diverse talent into the sector has been defined, but what can broadcasters do in the meantime? Building a diverse workforce is only effective if you can build a strong culture of inclusion in parallel, otherwise you will struggle to retain employees or some may have negative experiences in their workplace. In this webinar, we will cover advice for leadership on how to build a diverse and inclusive workplace, including: • The value and necessity of industry initiatives, including talent programs, leadership development and apprenticeships • Diversity at industry events - the importance of visibility • Advice for leadership on how to lean into your employees’ diversity • The importance of flexibility and a human-to-human approach.
