"Inclusion & Diversity: Reflections of a FTSE100 ex-General Counsel"
BACFI / Bar Council Employed Barristers’ Committee webinar
Our 2021 events kicked off with the first of our series of three equality and diversity seminars being held in conjunction with the Employed Barristers’ Committee. Helen Mahy CBE, an Equality and Human Rights Commissioner and Bencher at Middle Temple. In 2015 she was awarded a CBE for services to business, particularly relating to diversity in the workplace.
Helen outlined her own journey which started when she joined a new company, National Grid plc, as the Group General Counsel, and wanted to make sure that her team would be encouraged to work to the best of their ability. To do this she implemented flexible working patterns, such as working from home some of the time (long before Covid-19!), flexible hours of work such as starting later, working later, allowing for a half day off, part time hours and whatever else fitted in to the lifestyle of those working with her. She believed that if they were all happy with what they were doing and what was expected of them, they would perform at their best. She concluded that inclusion is paramount, and diversity will then follow. Since then Helen has continued with her work on inclusion and diversity by being appointed a Commissioner of the Human Rights & Equality Commission and involved in social mobility.
