    Diversity and Inclusion Backlash

    Welcome to the ninety-second episode of the Womanthology podcast. Womanthology is the digital magazine and professional community powered by female energy and ingenuity. We champion equal recognition and reward for everyone, sharing opportunities, ideas, and a deep pool of collective wisdom – supporting each other to be unstoppable. In this episode, we’re exploring the theme of the Diversity and Inclusion Backlash. Joining us is Alexandra Hall-Chen, Principal Policy Advisor for Sustainability, Skills, and Employment at the Institute of Directors. Alex shares insights from their recent survey of business leaders that explore the UK’s response to the scaling back of ED&I — following significant political shifts across the Atlantic. While many US organisations are reassessing or retreating from their diversity commitments, UK businesses appear to be standing firm. Alex talks us through the findings and what they mean for future-proofing inclusive business strategy.

Until next time, take care!
