About this webinar

(Originally on Wednesday 25th November)

Can you build a diverse business in a homogenous industry?

Investment Management is traditionally a very homogenous industry and as a result, appears to face challenges when it comes to attracting a diverse pool of candidates.

In this webinar, we focus on the investment management industry specifically to get a better understanding of the barriers it needs to overcome in order to build businesses that reflect the society at large.

For this webinar we were thrilled to partner with The Diversity Project. The Diversity Project is a cross-company initiative championing a more inclusive culture within the Savings and Investment profession. In their words "diversity is not only our social obligation, it’s a business imperative". The Diversity Project invited two speakers to join us for this webinar - Schroders and E2W.

Schroders is a global asset and wealth manager which delivers a broad range of investments. The representative from Schroders shares their real world experience of hiring within this industry.

E2W offers services to both women and organisations around attraction and retention. E2W have supported women in their financial services careers and enabled Financial Institutions to gain the benefits of a more diverse workforce. E2W’s community now boasts 10,000 women working in senior positions in financial services in London.
