The Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have drawn major attention to inequalities in our society. While recent years have seen organisations invest more in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion programmes, there is a great deal more to be done. With only 46.3% of working-age Deaf or disabled people employed in the UK compared with 76.4% of non-disabled people, we urgently need change.
Real’s ‘THEN and NOW’ project offers local employers a unique opportunity to gain the training, advice and guidance you might need to become an excellent employer of Deaf and disabled people. All with the minimum of cost, time or fuss. For free.
What to expect
A one-hour meeting via Zoom to learn more about us and all of the free training, services and opportunities available to members of the Tower Hamlets Employers Network (THEN).
Who can attend
This event is open to employers, managers, human resource professionals and recruitment staff working in and around Tower Hamlets, London.
Disability Access
We want to include everyone, no matter what their access needs. If you have any access needs for online meetings, viewing PowerPoint, or taking part in group discussions, please let us know as soon as possible. This is in confidence and so we can talk to you in advance of the event about how we can adapt things to meet your needs.
