If you’re passionate about inclusion at work and you want to know how to make an impact to create a more inclusive work culture, this episode is packed full of advice to help. And the advice can be put into action whatever the size of the organisation you’re working in – no matter how big or small it is.

Host Fay Wallis is joined by Toby Mildon, the Inclusive Culture Strategist & author of “Inclusion Matters: Future-proof your business by creating a diverse workplace.”

Some of the many helpful concepts Toby shares that can be applied to organisations of all sizes (no matter how big or small) include:

  • Moving from an environment of exclusion to inclusion
  • The different types of connections leaders have to inclusion – rational, emotional, and personal
  • Demonstrating allyship through the use of visual aids
  • Overcoming fear of talking about diversity and inclusion
  • The ART of Allyship: Awareness, Respect, Trust
  • Using the GC Index to understand the impact you (and others) make at work
