BIMA HR Peer Network Roundtable

Online Only Event: We will send you a meeting link once you sign up.

This is a BIMA Member only session. For more information on becoming a BIMA Member visit the BIMA Site or email web@bima.co.uk

HR leaders have a lot to juggle – the wellbeing of employees, evolving workplace policies, talent retention, and building a positive culture, all while aligning with broader business goals.

Hosted by Dee Walsh, HR and Wellbeing Lead at Mando, and Founder of Dewa Consulting; and Anne-Marie Gough, HR Director at Journey HR, these monthly sessions provide a safe space for HR professionals to come together, share the challenges you’re facing, and contribute your own insights.

Limited to 12 attendees to allow for discussion. The Chatham House Rule applies and places are strictly limited to one per organisation.

Our Peer Network leads will guide the discussion, sharing perspectives, but crucially looking into what you are doing.

We hope you can make it!

Emily Banks, founder and CEO of Enna

Emily Banks is the founder and CEO of Enna, a social enterprise transforming how employers attract, recruit, and support neurodivergent talent.

Emily’s passion for inclusion is rooted in lived experience. She has ADHD and grew up in a neurodiverse family, which gave her a front-row seat to both the challenges and the strengths that come with thinking differently. After beginning her career in corporate banking, she saw how workplaces often reward a narrow version of professionalism, favouring conformity, unspoken rules, and traditional career paths. For those who process, communicate, or work differently, it can be exhausting just to keep up, let alone thrive.

That disconnect drove Emily to launch Enna, to challenge outdated systems and help employers build environments where neurodivergent people can genuinely belong. She believes lived experience brings powerful insight, and that neurodivergent individuals should be at the centre of designing solutions that work for them. Through Enna’s training, audits, coaching, and recruitment support, she’s helped companies across finance, tech, logistics, and more turn good intentions into meaningful change.

Emily was named Young Businesswoman of the Year 2025 for her work driving forward neuro-inclusion and reshaping the future of work for those too often left out of it.
