Professor Lynda Song, Professor Ahmed Mostafa and Dr Aleksandra Irnazarow (Ola) are exploring the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices, such as recruitment, selection, training and promotion, on the wellbeing of minority ethnic staff working within the wider health and wellbeing system.

Through collaboration with experts from NHS trusts, Leeds City Council, Healthwatch Leeds and beyond, this event encourages idea sharing on innovative HRM practices and the promotion of policy changes to foster an inclusive working environment which betters the wellbeing of ethnic minority staff and service users.

Join our in-person event, where Lynda Song and the research team will present key findings relating to the importance of cultural competence; a panel discussion with representatives from academia, public health services and the third sector will openly discuss the barriers and solutions to issues impacting inclusivity in health, social care and public health organisations; and, together, they will co-design ways to inform and train staff working within health and wellbeing services on cultural competence and its benefits.
