Episode 210 - R.I.P DEI?

Although diversity, equity and inclusion has faced it’s fair share of resistance over the years, the latest moves by the US and government and in turn, Meta, one of the world’s biggest companies, brings a whole new level of attack on corporate DEI work.

But is all of the great work that continues to be done, really under threat? Is it a case of saying RIP to DEI, or is it simply just another speed bump on the road of good work and progress?

Well to discuss this with us, and take a deeper look into what’s going on with DEI in workplaces, we’re delighted to be joined by a highly experienced Senior HR & Change expert, and Country Executive at the 30% club, the brilliant Gillian Harford.
