Upcoming webinar - Cross Cultural Collaboration Join us for an insightful webinar hosted by Elle Robinson Director, Talent Solutions on 15 October at 11:30. Organisational culture is both complex and diverse— and that’s a huge advantage. To truly benefit from this, we need to foster a deeper curiosity about the differences and similarities among our teams and members. While based in the UK, we collaborate with colleagues and serve members from a range of cultural backgrounds. Naturally, we tend to connect through similarities, but by intentionally embracing our differences, we can create a more inclusive environment. This helps build a sense of belonging and ensures we meet the needs of our diverse members— which is now even more important with the FCA’s Consumer Duty requirements. Join us and our hosts Hanover to explore how you can leverage cultural diversity to drive inclusivity and success.

The Co-operative and Mutual Economy Report 2024 by Co-operatives UK is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together.
