Understanding the impact of Sponsorship
To make meaningful and sustainable progress towards more diverse and inclusive workplaces, organisations need to pay special attention to the critical levers proven to drive change and push beyond common practices. One key lever is sponsorship, which plays a pivotal role in accelerating the growth of women and underrepresented groups into leadership positions.
Join Sophie Hampel, Inkling Group CEO and Co-founder, and Ami Sheehan, Inkling Group Senior Manager, Client Delivery, on Thursday 1 December at 12:00pm AEDT for a 30-min Inkling Insight Series live virtual learning session exploring the topic of Sponsorship.
Sponsorship is high stakes for all involved but the benefits far outweigh the challenges. By bringing intention to your organisation’s approach to sponsorship, you can accelerate the advancement of underrepresented talent, and create a more diverse and inclusive workplace. The research is evident – we’ll all be better for it.
