What do we mean by Speaking Out? Why is it so important in the field of Diversity and Inclusion?

If we want to encourage people to speak out, how do we create a culture in the workplace – a safe environment – where people feel able to speak up and address issues before they escalate? And how can people raise a point in a non-confrontational, respectful manner?

How does speaking out help the working environment?

Can you think of any examples of where NOT speaking out has had a detrimental effect on an organisation or its staff?

How can we become better at these behaviours? What tips and advice can you give to listeners who want to improve in this area?

This episode answers these and many more questions about Inclusive Behaviour #8: Speaking Out.

In this episode, Melissa and Rina discuss Unconscious Bias: how the mind works, why it’s a problem and how to mitigate it.  

Unconscious Bias in a natural brain process – our brain sorts things into patterns so that we can learn from these patterns.  But sometimes, these patterns are far too simplistic when it comes to complex beings.  Like people.  So how do we ensure that we don’t apply the simple patterns formed in our brains to complex situations?  Listen to our podcast to find out.
