September marks Black History Month and we recognise there are still key barriers that black people – and particularly women - face in the workplace. This is why we explored what people professionals can do to help create more inclusive work environments, with equal development opportunities for all, in a collaborative event with Sharon Amesu of She Leads for Legacy. We were delighted the online session attracted a strong turnout. You can watch it here . Inspiring northern talent The 2023 CIPD People Management Awards (PMAs) also take place this month (21 September), and I am delighted to see that 20 HR and people development teams – from across the North of England – have made the shortlist.
