What are organisations struggling with when changing for the future and how will this affect the potential for success or even survival in the future? Why is Diversity and Inclusion left to HR, not the whole organisation?
Our sixth episode of the BTN Podcast is with Andrew Fox, Group Head of HR Retail Banking Wealth Management and Insurance at HSBC, on Diversity and Inclusion and the changing world of work today. He looks at the role of HR in organisations today and the varying tasks they take on that are not necessarily within their remit, like employer branding and diversity and inclusion.
“We are talking about creating organisations which are diverse and inclusive, where everybody can bring themselves to work and feels free and encouraged to contribute”, but why is this not being managed by senior leaders across the organisation, instead of HR?
