I believe, in a lot of circumstances, it has been too easy for empty promises of change to be made under pressure or because ‘it’s good PR’ and then not enforced or followed up. There are simply no excuses for not engaging with a workforce reflective of society and we, as an industry, have to do better to embrace our glorious meld of talent and experiences to ensure we are leading the way. I want to be able to share my own experiences but more importantly learn from others what I can be doing to make that easier. Together, we create better.
