Six Degrees recently hosted a knowledgeable panel of speakers who shared their stories on Diversity and Inclusion over breakfast at the Calile Hotel in Brisbane.
The event featured keynote presentations by Andrea Pearman from Australia Post/ Inclusive Australia and Lance Hockridge, ex CEO and Managing Director at Aurizon, followed by an interesting panel discussion where Anthony Heraghty from Super Retail Group, Shaden Mohamed from Auto & General Services, Rona McLean-Carmody from Brisbane City Council and Christina King from YouFoodz joined a panel discussion and Q&A with the audience.
The speakers shared information about their company programs around D&I, challenges they faced, as well as practical advice and learning from their experience implementing Diversity and Inclusion in their organisations.
Thanks to our speakers for an insightful discussion and to all the Six Degrees customers who attended, we hope you took away some valuable insights on this important topic.
