PODCAST | Ep.5 It's time for the stick

Diversity and inclusion (D&I), historically, was the trendy talking point of HR teams. They’d been tasked with building and promoting inclusive workplaces to set everyone up for success. But what if the positioning of these teams has been too nice? What if, to bring about real organisational change, it’s time to employ the proverbial stick and take a harder stance on calling out and identifying unacceptable behaviours?

We explore this question, and the answer, in our latest episode of the World Changers podcast.

We find out where our colleagues turn for guidance on what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour in the workplace. Also, host Elle Bradley-Cox and, scarlettabbott’s very own director of client experience and D&I expert, Russell Norton sit down to discuss how attitudes and efforts to change the D&I space might need to change.
