Werking It Out 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t the only thing that happened in 2020.

BLACK LIVES MATTER HAPPENED.

Join Michelle as she talked with Niveditha (Nivy) Balachandran about the changing conversation about racial disparity and what that means for organisations and the future of work.

Nivy is the Acting Manager, Inclusion and Diversity at the Department of Transport, co-host of the fabulous Unapologetically Brown podcast, and just a pretty rad human being.

“Every time you ask your Inclusion & Diversity team to run an event, it is real hours and real resources lost influencing systems and processes within the organisation.”

If you’ve only got time for one podcast this week… LISTEN TO THIS ONE and think about what your organisation is doing to play their part in creating systemic change around racial justice.

She provides great insight on the impact of the pandemic at a start-up level.  Sarah shares how she invested her time when her business had to pause and how it’s now paying off. Big time.

She’s one to watch over the coming years and one to listen to right now…
