Starting in 2019, Hong Kong experienced a net outflow of professionals, this has impacted the diversity of the working population in the city, and while population figures have risen since the end of Covid restrictions, the diversity profile has shifted. The challenge for Hong Kong as an international business hub is to attract and retain global talent, to nurture emerging Hong Kong leaders, and to promote diverse representation across gender, ethnicity and origin.

In this engaging session, industry leaders will share how their companies are driving meaningful change in representation and creating inclusive working environments. Our conversation will also delve into the barriers hindering diversity and discuss the incentives needed to attract top talents. Be part of the conversation as we navigate the path towards diversity in leadership and its positive impact on organizational performance.
