Welcome to your HRD Connect update!

Rasmus Hougaard, Global Leader in Mindful Leadership, Potential Project talks to HRD Connect about what it really takes to be a ‘mindful leader’ and how changing your mindset can transform your organisation.

Next, we look at diversity within recruitment. A staggering 19% of the UK population and nearly 7 million people of working age in the UK are registered as disabled or as having a health condition, but only 7% of those with learning disabilities are currently in paid employment, despite 65% of these people wanting to work and pursue a fulfilling career.Teresa Scott OBE discusses the vital importance of diversity within the recruitment process.

As ever, join the conversation and tweet us at @HRDCommunity or email me at [email protected].

I hope you enjoy the features.

Best wishes,
