45. EDI 101: How Leaders Can Break Barriers for Inclusive Workplaces


Listen Later

This week we're talking about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), and asking and answering the questions you might have as a leader (including the ones you may be afraid to ask!).

We've researched the top-asked questions around EDI and our incredible expert guests have answered them for you. 

We're thrilled to welcome to the podcast:


Sonia Thompson

Sonia is an Inclusive Brand Strategist, Coach & Consultant. and Host of the Inclusion & Marketing Podcast, our sibling show on the HubSpot Podcast Network. She is on a mission to ensure more consumers and employees feel like they belong and helps companies grow by winning the consumers most brands ignore.


Catherine Garrod

Catherine is an EDI consultant, speaker and author. Her debut book ‘Conscious Inclusion’ helps organisations 'do EDI' one step at a time. It's not only the most engaging and practical EDI resource we’ve ever some across, it’s on its way to being a 2023 bestseller. You may well have heard of Catherin before - starting her corporate career with PepsiCo, she progressed to be Head of Inclusion at Sky, a business she transformed to become Number One on the Inclusive Top 50.


So hold on tight - we’re about to answer all your questions about EDI, including:

  • How are EDI, D&I and EDIB different?
  • Why bother beyond 'dong the right thing?'
  • How can I recruit for diversity, legally?
  • Is a diverse business more profitable?
  • Who's doing it right?
  • What happens when businesses get it wrong?
  • Where do I even start?
