Episode #11 // Now, no one can accuse me of not taking on the big issues in this podcast, and this one is particularly vexed because, although there's almost universal acceptance of the value that a diverse team brings to an organisation, very few organisations actually have a diverse workforce.
In this episode, we question why it’s so hard to create this. I’ll go straight to the punchline - there is no silver bullet: it takes time, effort and the right approach through every level of the business.
I try and cover this topic as simply as I can, and that starts with examining our own belief systems. From there I cover:
This episode is one of the grittier ones. I’m not proclaiming to be a diversity guru, and I definitely regret not being able to move faster on this critical issue when I was at CS Energy, however the learnings I had whilst I was trying to make changes were invaluable. I hope they enable you to reflect upon this topic with a different perspective!
As always, I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, and if you have any extra tips or strategies on increasing workplace diversity, so please shoot me an email at hello@yourceomentor.com.
