Are we doing enough for race and gender inclusivity?
In a world that thrives on innovation and progress, it’s imperative for every company to ask itself a critical question: “Is our organisation doing enough to promote race and inclusivity?”
Join us for this weeks podcast with our incredible panel; Em Ledger, Emma Wright and Yasmin De Nardo
The journey towards building diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces is a collective effort, one that involves listening to the voices of those who have experienced the ups and downs of this transformative path. Join us as we round up a thought-provoking podcast interview that brings together perspectives, insights, and personal stories that shed light on the complexities of race and gender inclusivity in the professional world.
The panel shares exposing challenges faced by women in the tech field, where female developers are often unjustly labeled as “juniors” despite their expertise. This misrepresentation not only affects the individuals but perpetuates stereotypes that hinder progress toward inclusivity.
The conversation also takes a deeper dive into the misconception surrounding underprivileged interns, largely comprising individuals from diverse racial and working-class backgrounds. It reveals the subtle biases that still linger within organisations. Furthermore, it explores the unfortunate instances where gender-based stereotypes persist, forcing women to shoulder administrative tasks during meetings rather than contributing their expertise.
This interview doesn’t just highlight problems—it emphasises the importance of speaking up against inappropriate behavior and comments, even when it’s challenging. It underscores the crucial role allies play in supporting those who raise concerns, especially women navigating the intricate landscape of workplace inclusivity. Moreover, it encourages women to find their voices and stand strong against gender-related issues, fostering a culture of empowerment and support.
