To mark Black History Month and World Mental Health Day, this 30-minute bitesize masterclass explores the relationship between race, wellbeing and resilience. Our experts will explore the emotional impact of navigating racial bias, stereotypes and expectations. We'll share practical tips and strategies to support wellbeing and build resilience when navigating challenging experiences.

But resilience shouldn’t become a substitute for inclusion. We’ll also look beyond the individual to explore what leaders, colleagues and organisations can do to create environments where people don’t have to be ‘resilient’ simply to belong, thrive and be themselves at work.

This year’s Inclusion Summit theme of “Performance with Purpose” signals a decisive shift in how organisations across Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail understand leadership, value creation and long‑term success.

Some work doesn’t make headlines. But it changes lives. And it deserves to be seen.
The inclusion in Awards return to recognise organisations, teams and individuals that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to inclusion in the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail sectors.

This webinar will explore the Inclusion Maturity Curve, a bespoke benchmarking tool that allows organisations to measure and monitor their progress in the inclusion space.

Drawing on practices of the most inclusive employers, attendees will discover how high-performing organisations move beyond compliance and awareness to create transformative inclusion outcomes. We will examine the policies, leadership behaviours and cultural shifts that drive lasting impact and strengthen employee engagement, innovation, and organisational performance.

Inclusion doesn’t start or end at the office door. Employers have a unique opportunity to influence broader society, industries, communities, and social norms; extending inclusion beyond the workplace and driving meaningful change in the world around them. Join WiHTL & DiR Member organisations who will share how they extend inclusion efforts beyond internal policies, understand the wider impact of their actions, and discover practical strategies for driving positive change both within and outside their workplace.
