    Our Obsession with Cultural Fit Will Kill Workplace Diversity

    Podcast Episode: Our Obsession with Cultural Fit Will Kill Workplace Diversity In this thought-provoking episode of C-Level Conversations, Professor Gary Martin, CEO of the Australian Institute of Management WA, unpacks the increasingly controversial concept of "cultural fit" in hiring and why it might be doing more harm than good. What once began as a way to build cohesive, values-aligned teams has morphed into a gatekeeping tool that reinforces bias, stifles diversity, and limits innovation. Professor Martin explains how the fixation on hiring people we feel comfortable with those who look, think, and act like us can unintentionally shut out difference and dilute workplace potential. We explore the dangers of “looking glass merit,” the myth of sameness, and how it’s time to replace “fit” with “add.” Learn why embracing cultural add over cultural fit is critical for future-focused organisations committed to inclusion, performance, and growth. 🎧 Tune in to learn: Why cultural fit is no longer fit-for-purposeHow to spot hidden biases in recruitmentThe business case for hiring differenceWhat leaders can do to foster true inclusion through hiringThis is a must-listen for business leaders, HR professionals, and anyone committed to building workplaces that thrive through diversity.

    Building Social Capital though Corporate Social Investment with Dr. David Cooke – Director ESG Advisory

    Why is Social Responsibility a critical part of the overall business strategy now?   As customers, employees, suppliers and, indeed, society more broadly place increasing importance on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), some leaders have started to look at it as a creative opportunity to strengthen their brands while contributing to society at the same time. For companies that see CSR as an opportunity to strengthen the business, the big challenge is execution. They view CSR as central to their overall strategies, helping them to creatively address key business issues  The big challenge for executives is how to develop an approach that can truly deliver on these lofty ambitions and, yet few have necessarily fulfilled these ambitions. Today’s guest is one such leader who has not only researched the relationship between commercial organisations and charitable ones but has implemented responsible business strategies in an emphatic way in organisations he has led.  Today’s guest is Dr. David Cooke. He completed a doctorate in 2009 titled “The philanthropic contract: Building Social Capital though Corporate Social Investment” which dealt with the role of profit–making corporations in furthering the work of the NGO sector and why this was sound business practice.  His work was awarded the Emerald Publishing Globally Responsible Leadership award for Social Impact in 2011 and in 2014 he was awarded the Top Alumnus of the last 20 years by the Southern Cross University Business School.  In 2020 he was awarded a doctorate honoris causa by Edith Cowan University for the implementation of responsible business initiatives in addressing modern slavery within corporate supply chains. David has always sought to establish a work environment that fosters equity, diversity and inclusiveness. He has spent 35 years in the tech sector in Australia and was appointed as the first non-Japanese Chairman & Managing Director of Konica Minolta Australia in 2013. Prior to that he held senior management positions with Canon and Xerox.   David is now consulting through his firm, ESG Advisory.   Today we ask David Why is responsible business initiatives more important now than ever before? How can leaders execute CSR effectively and connect it to ROI?How his social responsibility focused leadership paradigm transformed Konica Minolta Australia’s culture to become an award-winning employer of choice?Resources mentioned in the podcast  Modern Slavery Act Australia (link) https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2018A00153Global Slavery Index Australia (link) https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/The Philanthropic Contract: Building Social Capital though Corporate Social Investment (PDF) SelectedWorks - David Cooke (bepress.com)UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Connect with Dr. David Cooke   Website – https://esgadvisory.com.au    Linkedin – https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidcooke/     Twitter – @drdavidcooke

    Learnings from implementing High Performance

    Bruce Emery – High Performance Transformation Leader | MD - Transformd Why does a high-performance work culture matter?  A high-performance culture helps the organisation achieve high levels of performance and results consistently over time. It’s no wonder then that building a high-performance culture is a chief goal for many leaders as it can mean the difference between stagnation and growth, competitiveness and being left behind.  High-performance work practices empower employees, which helps organizational efficiency and performance. Companies using high performance practices benefit from reduced employee turnover while increasing their productivity and financial performance. However, it requires the trust and support of the employees for it to be effective.  My guest for this episode is Bruce Emery. Over the past twenty years, Bruce has delivered outstanding success growing underperforming businesses, implementing high performance, developing people and managing the design and execution of new product and opening up new markets.
