This virtual, half-day workshop will support leaders to welcome, encourage and build a culture of inclusivity in their teams.
Inclusion is an essential leadership capability to ensure that the voices of all are heard in the process of delivering and improving research. Building a culture of inclusivity creates a sense of belonging in the delivery of a collective mission.
