About This Webinar

The UK is a very diverse country in the people who live and work here. However, the agricultural and farm veterinary sector lacks a huge amount of diversity. Wanting to work and live in a fair society is key to happiness, productivity and justice. A lack of diversity is the result of a lack of fairness.

In this session we will discuss how diversity is important in where we work and what we do. On its own, diversity can become a tick box exercise with little or no impact, so we will look further at how inclusion and equity is needed and what steps an organisation or individual can take, to create an environment where everyone belongs. It is everyone’s responsibility to do this. With a diverse sector, we can lead the way, both in the UK and in the world, while attracting and keeping the best talent in our workforce.
