Networking in the corridors of after face to face meetings isn't a possibility right now and we have to think differently to make it work for everyone. We get to hear insights from the amazing Michelle Jackson who is EDI Adviser at Shaw Trust. She creates strategies, a range of activities and ways of working that remove barriers faced by groups who are underrepresented in more senior roles in the workplace and create a culture where people feel confident to take forward opportunities. Shaw Trust has got some exciting ideas lined up and I know Michelle and I could talk about this all day! Take a listen.
