EDI Focus - exploring why racial inequalities still exist in our workplaces and creating inclusive leadership
We will explore why racial inequalities in the workplace still exist, by better understanding our history and how this has formed a cultural norm in 2025 Scotland. We'll explore how our identities are central to our work practices, and why understanding this is vital to transforming organisational culture to be fully inclusive.
We will give you some easy-to-use tools to test in your workplace that enable you to build a culture centred around inclusive leadership, and help you build the case for this bringing a competitive edge to your business.
