06:35- What are the strategies that you have found to be effective in encouraging more businesses to prioritise diversity and inclusion is being talked about all the time?
- Strategies to encourage businesses to prioritize diversity and inclusion include starting with data analysis through tools like radar, conducting surveys and focus groups to understand recruitment, attraction, development, etc.
- Another crucial strategy is accountability, where CEOs set bold diversity targets, communicate them internally and externally, and link compensation or rewards to diversity and inclusion goals for leadership teams.
- This approach ensures a commitment to tangible actions and measurable outcomes.
19:09- How do you see the future of work impacting diversity and inclusion, especially with the rise of remote and hybrid work models?
- I think the impact is positive. Most companies are embracing remote working and flexibility, which I think is important when you try to think about diversity and inclusion.
- The push for a full return to the office by some CEOs, as indicated in a recent UK survey, may be short-sighted.
- Companies should be mindful of talent risks, as employees may leave if not given the flexibility they desire.
- Proximity bias poses a challenge for diversity and inclusion. Women, with additional responsibilities, may face this bias, leading to potential oversight in career development.
