Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Conference & Webinar series

‘Leading a Diverse Workforce, Delivering a Better WorkPlace’ 

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde held our first ever Workforce Equalities Conference for people managers right across the organisation on 20 June 2023. This exciting event brought together our managers to celebrate and share experiences of how we best manage our diverse workforce to deliver great outcomes for our people, patients and communities. Our Conference programme is available to view. In developing the programme, we listened to what was important to our staff. You can watch a video to hear what they told us is important to them.

On the day Anne MacPherson, Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development spoke about our Workforce Equality Action Plan. Anne’s presentation is available to view. Our key note speech was delivered by Professor Laura Serrant and you can view her speech online. We hope that this will be a way for people managers who were not able to attend on the day to share in the learning.

Following the Conference, many attendees asked us for some top tips on what they can do to make their workplace more inclusive. We have shared six key tips in our Resource Pack.

Our subsequent Webinar Series built on the breakout sessions delivered at our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Conference and offered these and other related insightful and valuable sessions to a larger audience. The Webinar Series included sessions on Peer Support, Reasonable Adjustments (and the Workplace Adjustment Passport), Autism, Staff Authenticity and Equality Legislation.
