Balancing Acts: Exploring the risks and rewards of sustaining a positive workplace culture

March 7 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am

With increasing changes to the social norms and acceptability around culture and associated behaviours for those with responsibility for setting and sustaining their workplace culture these can be tricky issues, particularly when that culture needs to be communicated around multiple sites of College or Multi Academy Trusts.

With recent criticisms within the wider public sector of misogyny, institutional racism and unconscious bias, how can we effectively identify and challenge these unacceptable traits in our own organisations?

Join us as the team identify sector challenges and risks and provide practical guidance on how to sustain a positive workplace culture.

This session will follow on from some of our priorities and themes identified in our EDI Briefing in November 2022.

Our target audience is Sector Leaders, HR Leads, Trustees and Governors
