Good Business is About Diversity

Rikki Arundel, knows all about discrimination. Despite being a top international motivational speaker, when she changed gender all speaking work stopped and it has taken her years of hard work to overcome that challenge. But the market of diverse people frequently discriminated against in this region is growing fast and you may be missing out.

With an estimated 20% of the population in the region being from either the gay community or minority ethnic communities, and 25% of the population being discriminated against because of mental health and other disability issues, it is a big market to miss out on.

In this lively, interactive seminar, inthe spirit of the BizWeek Hull "Can Do" theme, you will learn how to engage with “hard to reach” communities and ensure that you position yourself as a preferred supplier.

Diversity training is no longer a “Nice to do” activity – in harsh economic times it’s a “Must do” activity – don’t miss this session – places are strictly limited.

Time 2.30pm to 4.30 pm
Venue: Hull Truck Theatre
