Keynotes

Keynote by speaker Roy Gluckman: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in a Hybrid/Remote Working World

The
world of work has shifted.
We do not have the
time
or
resources
to have as many
in-person events
,
training
and
casual interactions
as before. The impact of this is that
building quality relationships
, shifting
behaviour
and
culture
, and providing
equal access
to opportunities and resources needs different tools. How then do we ensure we achieve a sense of inclusion and belonging in this
changed world or work
? How do we
shift behaviours
and
build trust
among different people when we haven’t even met them in person? This keynote discusses these challenges, along with their solutions.

Learning Outcomes:

Understanding of the challenges
, and
opportunities
of
remote
and
hybrid
work for diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging

Solutions for how organisations
can still drive behaviour and culture change in hybrid and remote working spaces

Keynote by speaker Roy Gluckman: What is 'Belonging', really?

The need to belong is a powerful
driver of behaviour.
We all want to belong. We crave it. We pray for it. We even change for it. The conversation around Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DEI) has evolved to include the idea of ‘belonging’ but
have we taken the time to understand what it means to belong
?

This keynote addresses what belonging is and how it drives behaviour within our organisations. Organisations can use this to understand how our organisational spaces can assist or frustrate the process of achieving more belonging for more people and offers practical tips on how to create a deeper sense of belonging for more people.

Learning Outcomes:

Better understanding
of what ‘belonging’ means within organisations and why it is important foremployees and the employee experience

Better understanding of the
role of our organisational spaces
(either physical or virtual) in creating belonging, inclusion or exclusion

Practical tips
for how to create more belonging for more people

Keynote by speaker Roy Gluckman: Inclusive Decision-Making: Unconscious Bias in Decision-making

This keynote focuses primarily on those who make
‘people’ decisions
(i.e.
recruitment, promotions, dismissals
etc.) and extends to
leaders, people managers
and
HR
business partners. It looks at
unconscious

bias
and unpacks how bias affects
objective (and fair) decision-making
within our organisations. This keynote explains how bias is formed by the things and people we find to be
safe
,
familiar
,
valuable
and
likeable
(SFVL) and explores where this comes from. It invites the participant to understand their SFVL decision- making matrix and to see how this limits the objectivity of those decisions.

Learning Outcomes:

Greater understanding
of what ‘unconscious bias’ is and how it shows up in our lives.

Better understanding how the decisions we make within organisations affect the outcomes we get, and why
inclusive decision making
is so important to create an
inclusive culture
.

Tool on how to make more inclusive people decisions.

Keynote by speaker Roy Gluckman: The ‘Why’ of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Whether we choose to see it or not, moments of
exclusion
occur in
macro
and
micro
moments all day, every day. These moments serve to erode people’s trust in
leadership
,
colleagues
and the
organisation
. Trust erosion is the key driver of a
poor culture
, lack of
performance
and
innovation
, and
talent attrition
and
emotional disconnection
. Unlocking Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is essential in optimising organisational culture, leadership, and talent as it addresses the historic and present-day mistrust that exists within our organisations and relationships.

This keynote asks us to
introspect
on where we are as
individuals,
and as an
organisation
on our DEI journey. This is a ‘software update’ that looks at how DEI has evolved in terms of language and why, more than ever, it is important for us all to embrace to build trust and an empowering organisational culture.

Learning Outcomes:

Updated language, literacy and awareness on DEI, its importance and how it shows up in organisations

Greater comfort to engage in tough DEI conversations

Excitement and energy for upcoming DEI conversations

characteristics
and
benefits
