Episode 239

Rina Lynch on Maximising the Power of Diversity in the Workplace

EP 239 - Rina is Founder of Voice At the Table, a diversity and inclusion consultancy who help organisations tap into the diversity of their people and offer training in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

Rina unpacks what Equity, Diversity and Inclusion actually is, how it differs from equality, and how it's applied in the workplace. We discuss gender, ethnic and cultural bias, the effects of divisive mentalities and language, and how we can learn to become more empathetic. Rina explains her 8 Inclusive Behaviours program which facilitates better diversification, and explains why female leadership programs qualify for the big bin of bullshit!

We also get to her about why Rina began her work in this space, her long term goals and biggest f**k ups.
