Virtual HR Forum ~ EDI ~ Rubicon & Ellis Jones

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Rubicon Recruitment and Ellis Jones are delighted to invite you to the FREE HR Forum – a monthly session for HR Professionals to explore, and discuss, topics of interest within their field with other like-minded professionals.

Hosted by Jess Comolly-Jones (Co-Managing Director, Rubicon) and Kate Brooks (Head of HR and Employment Law Partner, Ellis Jones) you’ll benefit from the opportunity to network with peers and share advice & best practice.

Creating a truly inclusive workplace requires more than good intentions, it demands strong policies, cultural change and legal accountability.

In May’s HR forum, we’ll explore how to develop practical EDI strategies, ensure your policies and contracts meet legal requirements and stay ahead of future changes in the law.

We’ll also cover the importance of addressing harassment sensitively and lawfully, and how to measure the effectiveness of your EDI initiatives through real-world examples and case law updates.

Kate will be covering:

• Developing EDI policies, contracts and training that meet legal requirements.
• Upcoming changes to equality, diversity and inclusion law that HR teams must prepare for.
• Managing harassment claims compliantly, with real case law examples to guide best practice.
• Practical ways to measure and track the success of EDI initiatives against legal and organisational goals.
