I can't talk about the "#BusinessCase" for Diversity with you any longer. It's clear there is one. There are reports and evidence spanning more than 30 years, which proves #Diversity + #Inclusion = #EquitableOutcomes But I've always found it #dehumanising to reduce treating humans as humans to a figure on the bottom line of a balance sheet. All businesses should have a risk register, and so given the ethical, efficiency, innovation and effectiveness case for #EDI you should be looking at an opportunities register with the #Opportunities of #Inclusion and the #Risks of mismanaging #Diversity. There are profound #HealthAndSafety implications, as well as other reputational concerns. This journey takes #expertise. I just happen to know where you can find some. www.unheardvoice.co.uk

In my podcast era 🎙 🗣 Loved catching up with Charlotte for a really interesting chat about the Mindful Business Charter. The charter is built on these four pillars: - Openness and respect - Smart meetings and communication - Respecting rest periods - Mindful delegation Luckily these pillars are already pretty much embedded into our culture but it's always important to revisit them to hold time for reflection and planning for the future. That's why over stress awareness month the DIW team developed conversation guides and team audits so that our colleagues can have open conversations in their teams about how we align with the four pillars and where we need to pay closer attention. Over the next year we hope to encourage more of these conversations and create safe, brave spaces for teams to reflect. Mindful Business Charter
