Panel Sessions

Inclusion: For Opportunity and Belonging
For jobseekers from marginalised backgrounds, landing a job is a lifeline to dignity, purpose and stability. What does it mean to truly belong at work and how can a more inclusive society create opportunities where diverse talent can thrive? In this panel we feature panelists who are working on intersectional inclusion and on better environments for underrepresented talent – LGBTQ+ persons, persons with disabilities, neurodivergent, ethnic/racial minorities and women – to access opportunities and have a fair chance to succeed.
