About this webinar:

In today’s rapidly changing workplace landscape, organisations are facing critical challenges — from remote work dynamics and talent shortages, to rising employee expectations and the urgent need for more inclusive, dynamic teams.  

Amidst these challenges lies a fundamental opportunity: adopting equitable hiring practices helps build more innovative, resilient and successful teams — which leads to better business outcomes. 

The stakes are high. According to CIPD, the average cost of filling a vacancy in the UK stands at £6,125, soaring to £19,000 for managerial roles. Recruitment is no longer just about filling vacancies quickly and efficiently; it’s about making a strategic investment in your workforce that fosters diversity, inclusion and long-term success.  

On Wednesday 27th November, 2.00pm to 2.45pm, join Dianne Hoodless (Head of Group payroll for TFG Brands London), Mervyn Dinnen (HR Analyst at Talent Watch) and Dania Lyons (Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at IRIS Software Group), for a powerful discussion and Q&A on why equitable hiring is much more than a moral imperative, but a strategic advantage that builds stronger, more innovative and higher performing teams. 

Sign up now to uncover: 

  • Smart recruitment strategies: How to reduce recruitment costs and accelerate hiring timelines without compromising on quality.
  • Fostering pay equity: Learn how fair recruitment practices lay the foundation for long-term pay equity, promoting well-being and fairness across your organisation.
  • Diversity-driven success: Hear from experts on proven strategies to attract diverse talent, close pay gaps and drive greater organisational success.
