How to speak up at work
Speaking up at work when you witness insensitive behaviour, bullying or harassment can be challenging. Despite wanting to speak up, fear or the hope someone else will say something can often get the best of us. This fear can also be exacerbated if you are from a traditionally marginalised group or you worry about using the incorrect terminology. It does not have to be this way. This 2-hour workshop will equip you with tools and strategies to help speak up with confidence in support of others and yourself.
Confirmed panellists for session are: Kate Reilly, Chief Membership and People Officer for PPL, Paul Hawkins, Head of Volunteering and Skills Development for Attitude is Everything and Vick Bain, former CEO of BASCA and Campaigner for Women in Music. The event is directed by DiVA founder and BPI Equity & Justice Advisory Group (EJAG) member Arit Eminue. You can read more about our contributors below!
Speaking up requires a collective effort; therefore, the workshop is designed for employees at all levels, irrespective of seniority.
This free event is open to all BPI and AIM members as well as to other music industry associates.
Zoom details will be sent out to ticket holders 24 hours before the event.
