Inclusion :: Are you in or out? Playing With Hire

- Careers
In this final episode of this first series, we ask the question - Inclusion: Are you In or Out?
We can all be an ally. Be open to conversations that support others.
Even if it is to just listen, show compassion and understanding. We cannot see the world through other people’s eyes, we haven’t lived the same life as them, but we can be open to learning from other experiences – this in turn creates more understanding of our differences.
We discuss that some of these complex conversations we have as HR professionals, leaders within a business, is new ground for many of us. We cannot expect to be specialists and experts in everything!
We can all challenge discrimination, by doing so we can influence inclusive cultures and ways of working. Many of us don’t use our voices enough, however, when we do the vibrations and ripple effect it creates can make a huge difference.
Alice and Nick discuss the risks, costs, and implications of not getting to the root cause of discrimination. They discuss the tangible costs associated with employment tribunals, of which many businesses simply cannot afford to absorb into the PNL.
They pose the question, that instead of fighting employee relations at the coalface, why are more companies not investing in changing practices, creating cultures which are open and respectful, breaking down the barriers to inclusivity and embracing a diverse workforce?
We have the capacity to learn from others, so maybe instead of shying away from these conversations, we should all lean into them a bit more.
