Making the World Fairer

We explore the current information and statistics that we have on the race pay gap, with just 3% of organisations publishing their ethnicity pay gap on a voluntary basis. We break down pay gap variations between different ethnic groups, considering the differences between a positive and negative pay gap, and why these may exist.

We review what we have learned from trying to tackle the gender pay gap, and consider how these lessons may be applied to, and used to tackle racial pay inequality. We also question how the drivers behind the race and gender pay gap may overlap.

This season we will be examining race from a historical, statistical, behavioural, and psychological perspective. We hope that this will provide a wide-ranging exploration of how race and identity function at work, which in turn will help organisations to foster empathy, initiate meaningful conversations and understand race-based dialogue within the workplace.

The first episode of the series features audio from a talk delivered by Professor Binna Kandola OBE in October 2020 on 'Why do we have to keep talking about the slave trade?'. In this episode Professor Kandola will be examining the topic of racial trauma; including how it is defined, the different ways that it manifests and the lasting impact that it has on people.

When we consider the techniques that we can use to increase diversity, such as mentoring, sponsorship, and quotas, it is ultimately development programmes that have proven to be the biggest drivers of diversity and inclusion within senior level roles.

Positive action programmes can have a phenomenal impact on the levels of diversity at senior grades if they are intelligently designed, communicated, developed, and delivered. Within this podcast episode Dr Nic Hammarling reviews the research conducted by our psychologists here at Pearn Kandola into the critical factors that determine the success of positive action programmes, and what you should be expecting from a programme in terms of the promotion rates for minority employees.

Nic also explores which factors initiate best practice within this field; this includes the art of communication within the programmes, the importance of emphasising merit and being specific about what positive action means, and the benefits of involving key leaders that hold social capital.

In this episode Bailey breaks down the three core aspects of inclusive selection; this includes how to attract and retain a diverse pool of talent, how to ensure that your shortlist criteria maximises inclusivity, and which practical steps you can take to input inclusion during the employee onboarding process.

Whilst we all like to think of ourselves as inclusive and supportive team members, the reality is that we may often fall short. This is particularly true when it comes to identifying exclusive behaviours in others – how equipped do we feel to confidently speak out? These are just a few of the questions that Professor Binna Kandola OBE addresses within this podcast, as well as providing guidance on how to build a team that contributes to an open-minded, authentic, and inclusive workplace culture.

We all know that leaders have a huge impact in how inclusive people feel their organisation is, as well as how much progress is made on diversity and inclusion across the organisation in general.

Thousands of leaders and their team members have now completed our digital solution PK:INDYNAMICS Leaders, and in this episode Dr Nic Hammarling shares our insights into the common inclusion strengths of leaders; the exclusion traps they most often fall into, and the biggest differences between how inclusive they think they are as a leader in comparison to how inclusive their team perceive them to be.

Nic also shares information about the practical tools you can share with your leaders to enable them to be more inclusive.

Inclusive workplace cultures not only benefit individuals and their wellbeing, but it's also been proven to have tremendous organisational benefits. These include greater productivity, more engagement, and higher levels of innovation.

This podcast, presented by Professor Binna Kandola OBE, clearly defines what we mean by inclusion and inclusive cultures, looks at the benefits of having an inclusive culture, what prevents inclusion from occurring (in particular he will look at stigma and privilege), and then Binna will introduce a new model for looking at inclusion within our organisations.

The last 18 months have been unprecedented in challenging established norms and rules for engaging in work. In the space of less than a week, many organisations put in place processes for remote working that would previously have taken months, if not years, to make a reality. While for many people this was a pressured and challenging experience, it has nonetheless set a precedent that will shape the future. In this, the final episode of the series, Professor Binna Kandola OBE uses a combination of research and experience to look at what we can learn from the capsule environment we found ourselves living in for the majority of last year.

There is an assumption within many organisations that, with the right technology and a suitable place to work, all employees will adapt quickly and effectively to remote working. Many of our expectations of work are, however, deeply embedded habits, so how easy is it to adapt to remote working? In this episode, Stephan Lucks, Managing Psychologist at Pearn Kandola, draws on our research into the psychology of remote working and explores the influence of individual differences in the way that we adapt to it.
