Matheson this morning hosted the ‘Pathways to Belonging’ conference in association with Trinity College Dublin.

The conference at Regent House, Trinity College, focused on how building an inclusive workplace that attracts talent, drives innovation, and supports employees to bring their whole selves to work, is now a business priority.

Managing partner Michael Jackson said: “Issues concerning diversity and inclusion are some of the most pressing within the corporate environment today, whether it is addressing legacy issues or building successful organisations for the future.

Improvements

“I believe that those issues can best be addressed, and lasting improvements accelerated, when businesses and organisations like those gathered today come together to share their experiences and ideas, and work together for progress”.

Matheson has set up an internal diversity and inclusion steering group.

In March of this year, it announced the Matheson Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship in association with Trinity College to encourage social mobility among law students.
