Cork University Business School in conjunction with Chartered Accountants Ireland will host a breakfast event to highlight the importance of diversity to the modern workplace
The open event entitled “Diversity in the Modern Workplace” will take place at 7.30 am to 9.30 am on September 19th .
The Cork Society in association with Cork University Business School, UCC are delighted to host a discussion on diversity and inclusion in the modern workplace.
Ensuring organisations are inclusive and make the most of diversity is not only the ‘right thing to do’ but a real business imperative. Getting it wrong can lead to reputational damage, whilst embracing it fully has been shown to have clear benefits on performance, long-term success and business sustainability.
The momentum for greater diversity and inclusion in organisations is building but actual progress is still slow.
Joining us on the morning will be:
- Mark O'Conor, Fexco
- Sinead O'Keeffe, Enable Ireland
- Dr. Ciara Heavin, Cork University Business School, UCC
The event promises to be both idea stimulating and action orientated.
