Cheryl Samuels, Deputy Director of Workforce Transformation - London Region and Chair of Deputy Directors of HR Network, NHS England & NHS Improvement, shares how the HR & OD profession has the power to transform peoples working lives for the better. Last year the HPMA London Academy, in partnership with the Deputy HR Directors Network, commissioned an external consultant - Synergised Solutions Ltd - to undertake independent research into the lived experience of Black, Asian and minority ethnic HR/OD professionals. As a result earlier this year HPMA launched a social movement for change using the hashtag #InclusiveHR on Twitter, where they have promoted the positive and deliberate steps the HR & OD profession is taking to promote and advance equality and inclusion. Cheryl will share the the report findings and the actions needed to be taken for change.
