Online guest lecture on diversity in the workplace by Ms Lisa Clark from the University of York

On 25 May 2023, students from our Business Administration & Economics Department had the outstanding opportunity to attend an online presentation by Ms Lisa Clark, Lecturer in Management at the University of York School for Business and Society: 'All That We Are - Unlocking the Power of Diversity and Embracing Strategies for Effective EEO and Talent Management in Today's Workplace'. In this thought-provoking and highly interactive lecture, Ms. Lisa Clark stressed that adopting diversity and inclusion is not just a moral imperative, but also a strategic advantage for organisations. In fact, there is a transformative power in valuing and embracing differences. By fostering diverse and inclusive environments, organisations can unlock immense potential. Diverse perspectives lead to improved decision-making, enhanced innovation, and increased performance. Moreover, inclusive workplaces attract top talent, foster collaboration, and build a positive brand image.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms Lisa Clark for an enlightening presentation that sparked important conversations on diversity and inclusion. This guest lecture was offered to CITY College students as part of the third-year Human Resource Management unit led by Dr Giovanni Oscar Serafini.
