Cultural transformation is 5.3 times more likely to succeed when leaders model the behaviours they want employees to adopt, says research from McKinsey. ✅ Leadership accountability for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is a key enabler to supporting the development of inclusive, well-led cultures and is required to help us achieve better patient care and health outcomes. Trust leaders will have all committed to EDI objectives in 2024 as a requirement of the NHS equality, diversity and inclusion improvement plan, but how do they leverage these to support EDI transformation? 📆 Register your interest for our online peer learning event where, together with speakers Ian Holmes and Ali Aslam, we will explore what this looks like in action, focusing on four key areas of policy, data, education and culture. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3EnWsog
