What does great allyship actually look like in practice?
We'll chat to three brilliant leaders & male allies, Peter Bufton, Product Line Director at Cargill, Andrew Agnew, Head of Sales at Kepak & Gary Rowland Group Head of Learning & Development at Dunbia to get perspectives from three very different areas of business as to what male allyship looks like in practice.
We'll explore how everyday leadership behaviours create more inclusive teams, stronger cultures and better career progression for everyone. Our speakers will explore the actions leaders can take to develop talent, challenge bias and build workplaces where people can thrive.
Key takeaways
This session is ideal for male leaders and managers who want to become more effective allies, as well as anyone interested in inclusive leadership. It's particularly valuable for people managers, emerging leaders and those looking to build high-performing, inclusive teams.
