On Thursday 21 November, the IA’s Culture & Inclusion Conference, will be returning to London, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing HR and compliance professionals during this transformative period for the investment industry.
Amid ongoing cost pressures, uncertain regulatory impacts, and the rapid emergence of new technologies, the imperative to “do more with less” has become increasingly pressing.
This event will examine how these challenges are reshaping the industry, with key areas of discussion including:
  • The government’s recently announced Employment Law reforms, covering implications for investment managers and strategies for effective preparation
  • Building a framework for managing non-financial misconduct and reputational risk
  • Cultivating a culture of inclusion and organisational wellbeing in challenging economic times
  • Harnessing the power of Generative AI to transform recruitment and candidate assessment
  • The latest insights from the IA’s 2024 Culture, Talent and Inclusion Report: A demographic snapshot of the industry, conducted in collaboration with the Thinking Ahead Institute
  • Navigating the remuneration landscape: Updates on the EU Pay Transparency Directive and its implications for businesses.
  • Strategies for improving data collection quality for reporting processes
