LGBTQ+ themed Employee Resource Groups are consistently amongst the most popular in many businesses. While this is an achievement to be celebrated, not every sector of society has experienced the same progress. Learn about the importance of moving beyond trends and supporting other marginalised groups that are just at the beginning of their journey towards equity, and why even at Pride, it’s important to check our privilege.

Yet, entire sections of society remain excluded. Not because of the actions of employers, but because of societal barriers. Understanding what these barriers are and how equity is needed to overcome them has the potential to bring entire new sectors into the workforce.Siobhán McKenna – Head of Equality, Diversity &amp; Inclusion, Public Appointments Service; Jeanne McDonagh – CEO, The Open Doors Initiative; Carson Townsend, UdemySponsored by: Udemy11.30am – 11.45am:	Break12.00pm – 1.00pm:	Belonging &amp; Staff RetentionThe world is experiencing the biggest mass resignation of staff in history, with over 50% of employees quitting or planning to quit their jobs saying a lack of sense of belonging was a major factor in their decision.
