Wednesday 29th November – workshop/seminar on the business case for diversity and inclusivity in London.  The event will be hosted by Gowling WLG at 4 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AU.

This event is aimed at anyone involved in recruitment or HR, or with influence over their organisations’ EDI policies.  It will include workshop-style discussions to assemble a compelling case for diversity and inclusivity, that you can take back to your own organisation to persuade colleagues on board.

Under discussion will be the impact of diversity on an organisation’s internal efficiency; its talent recruitment and retention; its relationships with clients and other external stakeholders; its risk and compliance management; and its overall financial performance.

Tuesday 5th December – joint CIPA, CITMA and IP Inclusive lunchtime webinar on mental health featuring Elizabeth Rimmer, the Chief Executive of LawCare.  Elizabeth will talk about why mental health matters in the IP community and highlight aspects of the culture and practices of the legal professions that can compromise mental wellbeing.  LawCare’s support is available to all CIPA and CITMA members, and this webinar will explain the charity’s role in promoting and supporting good mental health.  It will also introduce some simple steps that we can all take to protect ourselves and our colleagues from mental health problems, in particular those arising from workplace stress. 

This webinar is intended for all IP professionals, and may be particularly useful for new starters to the profession and for those involved in management roles.
