Welcome to your HRD Connect update!
KPMG’s reverse mentoring scheme, launched earlier this year, is all about pairing partners with black heritage colleagues, so those working at more senior levels can truly understand the challenges those from diverse backgrounds face in the workplace. Instead of being focused on career progression, this is mentoring with a bit of a twist! It’s much more about improving diversity and inclusion within teams, offices, and the overall firm. Read about the reverse mentoring scheme below.
“We wanted to focus on working out how we can bridge that gap and create a culture of inclusion.” – Edleen John, KPMG’s Inclusive & Diversity Senior Lead.
Top talent trends 2018: Mercer has released its annual research into talent trends sharing insights from senior business executives, HR leaders, and employees around the world.

So where is the focus for 2018?
