About IDEA

IDEA is far more than just a buzzword, it is an ongoing project led by our Co-Chairs: Scott Clinton, Emma Mackey and Trevor Baker-O’Haire. Our eight existing identity circles – including Women, Pride, Culture, Age, and Neurodiverse – meet monthly, both separately and together, to discuss challenges in the workplace and bring forward actionable change.

IDEA Festival

IDEA Festival is a celebration of diversity, including panel discussions and inspirational talks. This week aims to grow inclusivity circles and get more employees involved, providing more support and improved networking opportunities for members of diverse groups, and a greater understanding of the challenges faced by diverse employees and the barriers that they have overcome.
