Diversity and Inclusion Q&A LIVE with Voice At The Table

27 September 2021 @ 13:00 - 13:45

Free
A LIVE Question and Answer session on every-day D&I topics. In this session we talk to Sarah Fox about how to build an inclusive culture.

• Are you frustrated that behaviours don’t seem to be shifting in your organisation?

• Do you feel lost when it comes to developing an inclusive culture?

• Are you ready to take inclusion seriously?

During this 45 minute conversation with journalist Melissa Jackson Sarah Fox, D&I Lead at the BBC, will share what works for her to shift behaviours and develop a culture where everyone feels included

This session is for you if you:

• Worry about numbers that show that people from under-represented groups score lower on engagement surveys, and are more likely to leave than others

• Feel frustrated that behaviours haven’t changed much after unconscious bias training

• Are at a loss about possible action as ‘inclusive culture’ feels quite intangible

• Are wondering what to do beyond unconscious bias training

• Want to hear what experts do to meaningfully influence culture

• Would love inspiration from those that have moved towards a more equal, open and respectful work environment

In this interview Sarah Fox will answer your questions on how to build inclusive foundations.

YOU WILL FIND OUT:

• What Sarah does to foster a culture of inclusion

• What she and her team did to break it down and made inclusion more tangible

• How long it took her before she started seeing changes

• How the BBC measure results

• What they did to persuade those who were sceptical

• What Sarah learned along the way so you know what NOT to do when taking action to shift behaviours

YOU WILL ALSO HAVE …

• The unique opportunity to learn from someone who has been in your shoes

• Answers to the questions you have always wanted to ask

• A safe space to ask your own questions – and of course you can be sure that we will ask the difficult questions too, so you don’t have to
