Growing Inclusive Workplaces, with guest Toby Mildon

Diversity and Inclusion consultant Toby Mildon enables D&I in culture and business systems, and he just published a book called Inclusive Growth.

In this episode we talk with Toby about the wide range of diversity: race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical and neurodiversity, and more.

With his background in tech, he points us to the importance of culture combined with the power of technology – as well as the importance of diversity & inclusion in the tech sector itself.

“How do people arrive to work in the morning, feeling like they belong in the organisation – that they want to stick around, that they can do their best work. That’s where we need to take the conversation to.”

To a way of behaving, a way of being with people.

Culture is the sum of all small to big behaviours in the workplace.

Toby highlights his approach of championing and supporting people at the top of organisations to really lead the way and demonstrate inclusive behaviours.

“Inclusive leaders are bold and they’re not afraid to rock the boat.”

They’re comfortable with uncomfortable conversations.

They’re open to new information.
