Are you sure that you are reaching ALL suppliers who could be providing a fantastic service for your University? Could there be some bias in process or decision-making that favours suppliers from certain backgrounds? Would you like to be doing more to encourage inclusive practices in your suppliers?

Join expert and SUMS Associate Consultant Ellie Highwood for a 90-minute interactive online workshop providing a refresher on diversity and inclusion basics, and updates on the latest developments in this rapidly moving area of work.

Event Description

We’ll explore how our brains can sometimes turn helpful shortcuts into unhelpful biases and the impact these can have on decision-making.  In the second half of the workshop there will be break-out sessions to look at some procurement scenarios through an equality, diversity and inclusion lens, and start growing your inclusive mindset.
