Highlights from yesterday's Role Models for Inclusion LIVE webinar: “Diversity and inclusion means diverse ideas... And that's why I think in this new world, we need to explore these different ideas because I think it can really help companies grow” Shakeel Ahmed ODEON Cinemas Group “Inclusion is really important for everyone and I talk to lots of people all the time, who have come from different backgrounds and they've had different starts in life, but ultimately they’re aiming for the same thing. So it's having the opportunity to get the best out of someone” Karen Hewitt Chartered MCIPD The Gym Group “Equity is a big one, having those people who all work together, I think we've learnt that inclusion, it's not a one person job it’s all of us, that we have to work towards, it’s a culture” Safae Nakmouch Don’t miss out on more inspiring stories!
