Fresh People Breakfast: Leveraging Difference & Diversity

Finding ways to manage your diverse teams is something that can’t be found in a manual. How will you embrace and leverage the differences within your teams to drive growth and productivity?

Martin Nichols, Head of Culture & Capability from Coca-Cola Amatil, will share their success story to an award-winning culture that recognises and embraces difference. Martin will break down the hurdles they had to leap with senior leadership, such as addressing stubborn biases and transforming the way management engaged with the idea of change.

You will also hear from Lana West, Head of People & Culture for Beca, as she walks you through how listening to your people beyond the limits of their roles can benefit more than just your staff culture; Lana will discuss how their development programmes aimed at increasing business diversity was at the heart of how Beca grew into the international brand we know and trust today. Our speakers will also discuss:

• Building workplace cultures that last a lifetime
• Opening doors to new markets – exposing opportunities by leveraging the people you’ve got
• Establishing a culture of agile leadership – breaking down listening structures across all levels
• Implementing policies, incentives and expectations without just ‘ticking the box’

Diversity is more than skin deep, so start embracing the ‘isms, skills and dynamics that make your staff real people, and watch your business grow!
