SUMMARY:What is your organisation doing about Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion?
DESCRIPTION:Central to business leadership are the moral decisions and responsibilities you take when it comes to your most important asset: your people\n\n\nIn this case study\, Kath Shimmin\, Blake Morgan’s recently elected chairwoman for the Thames Valley law firm\, will speak about how she has helped implement an EDI strategy which recognises\, supports and promotes the wide-range of talents within the business. Recently ranked in the Inclusive Top 50 Employers\, she will share her experience of helping to build a platform which enables everyone to grow to their full potential.   \nWe will also get a perspective from Clinton Wingrove who has over 40 years’ experience in people management and is the author of the book Super Teams.  \nJoin us to hear insights and ask questions around equality\, diversity and inclusion within the workplace. \n\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\n\nKath Shimmin \nKath leads the Banking and Finance Team and was elected Chair of Blake Morgan in 2021. She has over 25 years’ experience in the finance sector\, covering a huge range of client and transaction types. \nShe became a partner in 1997 and since then has focussed much of her energy on building a specialist Banking and Finance practice within the firm. \nShe now leads a team of 25 lawyers based in London\, Wales\, Thames Valley and the South Coast.  She maintains an active practice\, often advising on complex or unusual transactions\, including overseas or multiple jurisdictions\, unusual security assets and bespoke financing or security instruments. \nShe was named in the 2021 Legal 500 Hall of Fame. \n\n\nClinton Wingrove \nFollowing a scientific degree\, Clinton’s career started in Clerical Work Measurement and Design where he led the design and implementation of processes and computer systems to automate an international warehousing and distribution operation. He soon learned that technology alone is not a solution – it is merely an enabler. Without excellent management\, productivity and capability plateau or decline. So\, Clinton went on to study Behaviour Engineering – how to combine processes\, systems and excellence in management to maximize productivity and development. \nClinton’s 40+ years international experience in management\, ‘C-suite’ executive\, and consulting roles has encompassed the UK\, the USA\, Barbados\, Canada\, Denmark\, France\, Germany\, Israel\, Italy\, Jamaica\, Saudi Arabia\, Spain\, Sweden\, and Switzerland. \nClinton is also an author\, publisher and international speaker.  His personal passion continues to be “Optimizing individual and team productivity\, performance\, and development” and his personal motto is\, “Don’t be miserable; too many people are better at it.” \n\n\nPartners and Supporters \nWe would like to recognise our Partners and Supporters (https://ethicalreading.org.uk/partners-and-supporters/) in supporting all that we do.

SUMMARY:Ethical Reading webinar: Are there moral facts?
DESCRIPTION:“It is wrong to bribe an official\, and that’s a fact!” But is it? Suppose someone disagrees\, perhaps because the bribe on offer is of very little value and offering it is the only way to get the work done. It seems there is no way of proving who is right. Are we still so sure there is a fact of the matter here? Many people\, and some philosophers\, think that moral disagreement like this undermines the view that there are objective moral facts. This is because they think that such disagreement is best explained by assuming that there is nothing to disagree about. If there were\, then people’s views would tend to converge more than they do. \nSuch scepticism about moral facts sometimes leads people to suppose that morality is subjective – that is\, that people’s judgements about what is good or bad\, right or wrong\, merely report how they feel about certain actions. You disapprove of bribes\, and the other person does not\, and the disagreement involves one person reporting that they disapprove of the bribes\, and the other reporting that they do not. \nPhillip will argue that moral disagreement not only fails to support this subjectivist view\, but undermines it. What disagreement shows\, is that we are committed to the view that there are moral facts. \nJoining the webinar \nWe will be using Microsoft Teams for the webinar. Upon registration\, you will receive a confirmation email. Please scroll to the bottom of the email to the ‘Additional Information’ section to see instructions for joining the webinar. \nAbout the speaker: Professor Phillip Stratton-Lake\, University of Reading \nPhilip Stratton-Lake is a professor of philosophy at the University of Reading. He is the author of Kant\, Duty\, and Moral Worth\, and is the editor of the 2002 edition of W. D. Ross’s The Right and the Good. He has also edited books on Ethical Intuitionism\, and Scanlon’s moral philosophy\, and has published papers on normative ethics\, metaethics\, and moral epistemology. \nJoin us \nIf you haven’t already\, please join the Ethical Reading movement!
