  Managing Director
   
 
Jon Whiteley is a board member of BHr Consulting.
Jon’s background is in Retail Financial services where he was Senior Diversity Manager at Lloyds TSB and directed key strategies for the Board and senior manager populations. He has firmly positioned Diversity as a mainstream business issue and argues that ownership for a diversity strategy resides with Business Managers responsible for delivering the Business agenda.

As well as his role at LloydsTSB Jon has headed up successful Diversity practices at both a firm of  Occupational Psychologist and an RPO business before founding Diversity in Business in March 2005.

Jon has directed a number of key strategic and tactical programmes ranging from “starter strategies “ through to revisiting and revamping diversity strategies for organizations at the vanguard of diversity leadership. A sample of his present and previous clients includes:
  • Npower
  • British Airways
  • European Central Bank
  • Barclays Asia
  • Wells Fargo (USA)
  • JP Morgan
  • Merrill Lynch
  • BT Global Services
  • Ministry of Defence
  • Amey Group plc
  • American Express
  • E-On Energy
  • Cap Gemini
  • City University
  • Greater London Authority

As well as promoting the mainstream business argument Jon has worked with a number of clients on cross cultural team and dynamic issues focusing heavily on national traits and stereotypes. A large amount of his work across Europe focuses on the barriers that face underrepresented groups from advancing into senior management roles and working through both policies and behavioral issues which can contribute to marginal behaviors.

Jon is currently working with a number of clients to ensure that they are equipped to compete effectively for tender bids within the public sector and in particular for work with the Olympic Delivery Authority.

At the request of Personnel Today Jon has recently written the “One Stop Guide to Managing Diversity” and is a regular commentator in the press and on radio on Diversity Business issues.

Jon has recently sat on the Ministry of Defense Strategic Diversity panel and is a founding member of the European Supplier Diversity Network. He has recently established and chaired the Diversity in Business Network including   key founder member brands such as (BT/Yahoo/Coors/Npower/Amey) who practice honest and transparent debate around the diversity agenda.
