In this week's episode, we delve into the complexities of diversity and inclusion with Kimiya Sajjadi from Big Enough Global. We discuss the challenges of achieving diversity in organisations. Sajadi emphasizes the critical role of top management and the need for tailored strategies, referencing a Harvard study on diversity. We talk about practical steps for implementing diversity in midsize corporations and the importance of integrating it into the organization's culture.
Our conversation covers strategies for fostering inclusion, balancing team dynamics, and the careful use of language to avoid divisiveness. We also explore how to address racist perspectives respectfully and the role of both majority and minority in creating an inclusive environment. I conclude the episode by underscoring the importance of embracing diversity for a better future.
