It is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 18th May 2022 between 10-11:30am (GMT). The forum will look at how collecting and measuring meaningful data allows businesses to analyse specific underlying barriers to inclusion; across the employee lifecycle and understand their Inclusion maturity.

It will also explore the key considerations for successful data collection, analysis and reporting; and how to track change over time. The event is targeted towards HR/D&I, talent acquisition and culture change professionals, as well as network leads.
