How to Embrace Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace
Equality, diversity and inclusion are often grouped together and have become a buzzword in the workplace. However, each term comes with its nuances and challenges.
Many organisations have a strong commitment to ED&I, but what do they actually do to ensure each area is covered? How can businesses embrace diversity in the workplace, while making it an equal and inclusive environment?
In this episode of OxTalks, powered by Enterprise Oxfordshire (formerly OxLEP), host Howard Bentham is joined by Laura Ayoade, the first ever Equity, Diversity & Inclusion lead at Aston Martin.
With a varied career path starting in hip hop dance to getting a master’s in international human rights law, being a performing arts teacher, and becoming an ED&I specialist, Laura is passionate about civil rights and international humanitarian law.
Laura shares her thoughts on how businesses can embrace ED&I, the benefits it brings, and how to foster an environment where all employees feel valued and listened to.
Enterprise Oxfordshire’s Communications Executive, Leona Weston, joins the discussion to share the support that OxLEP can offer to help small businesses looking to embrace ED&I.
