PIMFA Webinar: Webinar Wednesday Ep. 11 – COVID-19 & Diversity & Inclusion

Matthew West, PIMFA’s PR Manager will be joined by Susheel Sharma, Partnerships Manager at The Brokerage and Matt Cameron, Global Managing Director of LGBT Great to discuss what firms can do to ensure they have a diverse and inclusive workforce.

COVID -19 has already been shown to have a far greater impact on certain communicates within the UK than others. Meanwhile, a once in a lifetime recession coming over the horizon following the pandemic is likely to also expected to have a disproportionately negative impact on certain groups within society compared with others, This makes the need for diversity and inclusion within financial services even greater.  So are wealth management and financial adviser firms doing enough to ensure they are truly representative of wider society? And what impact does that have on their ability to serve their clients?

What will be discussed?

The webinar will consider the approach to diversity & inclusion in light of the impact of COVID-19, looking in particular at:

• Whether COVID-19 will lead to greater inequality and the potential consequences of that
• Levels of diversity and inclusion within wealth management and financial advice firms
• Effective strategies to improve diversity and inclusion and the work of The Brokerage and LGBT Great
• Why diversity and inclusion matter in the longer term.

Got a Question?

There will, as usual, be an opportunity to ask live questions during the webinar.
