Sussex Innovation will be bringing you weekly webinars on a variety of subjects that are designed to help support you and your business during this difficult time. These events are being run in collaboration with Gatwick Diamond Business.

It's well known that having a diverse workforce is beneficial to businesses; this is illustrated by the statistics that ethnically diverse companies are 33% more likely to have higher profits and that there is 19% higher innovation in companies with greater diversity. However, many companies struggle to be truly diverse.

This week Sussex Innovation Croydon's Centre Manager Saffron Saunders will be joined by Monica Beckles from Inside Advantage and Kyra Hall-Gelly from Neurotribe UK. They'll be discussing the difference between diversity inclusion, the importance of having the right processes and support available for all employees and how to increase diversity when recruiting.

Date: Wednesday 22nd July

Time: 13:00-14:00
