We are more than one thing, we are multifaceted

The Full Picture | Colt Technology Services

The killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020 sparked worldwide outrage, becoming a turning point for the anti-racism movement. So how do we transfer that momentum to the world of work? This week, our guests are Tabitha McKenzie, Global HR Business Partner at Colt, and Niall Simpson, Senior Consultant at Wiser and Founder of the Black Tech Sales Network. We discuss the importance of role models, the impact of the events of this summer and how to shape a more representative workforce. Further speaker details below.
