BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Water Sector DEI Virtual Roundtable: Shared Actions & Accountability
PLEASE REGISTER THROUGH TEAMS WEBINAR.
Join peers from across the UK water sector for a practical, sector-wide discussion on diversity, equity and inclusion. Co-hosted with The Equal Group, this roundtable focuses on what’s working, what isn’t, and the actions organisations can take now to build inclusive cultures that improve safety, service and trust.
What we’ll cover
Establishing a baseline: data you have, gaps, and responsible reporting.
Practical levers: inclusive hiring, apprenticeships, progression, mentoring & sponsorship, manager capability.
Building everyday inclusion on operational teams and sites (briefings, shifts, incident learning).
Tackling bias and microaggressions; psychological safety and allyship.
Partnering through the supply chain and with community organisations.
Measuring impact: simple, meaningful indicators tied to culture and service outcomes.
Who should attend
Leaders and line managers, HR/People/DEI teams, ERG leads, frontline supervisors, union representatives, and partners across the supply chain (contractors, suppliers, consultants).
