Driving equality, diversity and inclusion is now well evidenced as vital to sustaining business performance. The Equality Act provides a supportive legal framework to step up the pace of progress in ways that address business challenges. HR professionals are pivotal change agents who can make a real difference to the way organisations
respond to this important agenda.

Some new provisions in the Equality Act strengthen the scope employers have to trigger appropriate action but be warned mere compliance with the law is just not enough. Find out what else helps to gather momentum and how HR professionals can be in the driving seat.

Dianah is the Adviser on diversity for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. She directs the Institute's diversity research programme and leads the development of good practice guidance on diversity to help employers make progress in this challenging and complex field. She also leads the Institute's public policy work on diversity. In particular she has driven specific initiatives on managing diversity
and the business case, age, disability, equal pay, harassment and bullying, as well as race, work–life balance and employing people with criminal records. She was awarded an OBE for her services to diversity, in the Queen’s birthday honours list in 2006.
