How can LGBTQ+ people thrive and succeed at work?There are currently only four LGBTQ+ CEOs across all Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies who are out at work, and just 0.8% of Fortune 500 board positions are filled by LGBTQ+ people. This deficit, occurring across sectors and around the world, reveals a diversity gap playing out in today's workplace: LGBTQ+ people are less likely to reach the top jobs. But what is holding LGBTQ+ people back at work – and what can be done?Layla McCay is Director of Policy at the NHS Confederation, Executive Lead of the UK's Health and Care LGBTQ+ Leaders Network and author of a new book: Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling. Combining fresh data with personal insights from over 40 prominent LGBTQ+ trailblazers, from CEOs to Ambassadors, the book reveals the challenges that LGBTQ+ people commonly encounter as they find their way in work environments, and provides practical strategies that can help empower LGBTQ+ people to reach their full professional potential.Join Layla at the RSA to explore how everyone – from boards, CEOs, HR professionals, managers and colleagues, through to LGBTQ+ people navigating their own career paths – can recognize and address the barriers to progression, achieve their career goals, and build a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive and succeed.#RSAPrideBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialListen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

Guest post by Layla McCay, who publishes Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling on 23rd May RRP £16.99 (Bloomsbury) If you were asked to name a prominent LGBTQ+ tech CEO, you might think of Tim Cook. When the Apple CEO came out publicly in 2014, he was the first leader of a Fortune 500 company to do so. This decision made waves. The visibility of an LGBTQ+ person succeeding in such a prominent role challenged prejudices. It made staff, employees and the general public think differently and it super-changed young queer people's career aspirations. How to deal with the Rainbow Ceiling Prior to that moment, and certainly in my own youth, we just hadn't seen LGBTQ+ people visibly, unapologetically succeeding in senior positions. We were more used to being whispered about or portrayed in negative ways. Having this successful, confident role model was different. Tim Cook's decision to come out changed perceptions about LGBTQ+ people at work in ways that are still reverberating. A decade later, you might assume that Cook's trailblazing would have opened the door to far more publicly out LGBTQ+ people in senior roles. But it has not. Today only three of the CEOs running America's five hundred biggest companies are publicly known to be LGBTQ+. And it's a trend we see repeated in board rooms around the world. The data tell us: disproportionately few LGBTQ+ people make it to the upper echelons of our careers - and this is nothing to do with our ability. The discrimination and other barriers that contribute to inequality in LGBTQ+ people's careers have largely been flying under the radar on board papers and on managers' priority lists for some time. But we only need to look at the research or to ask LGBTQ+ people about their personal stories and a pattern emerges. Most people are familiar with the concept of a 'glass ceiling', a metaphor typically used to describe how women are prevented from reaching the top jobs. It's less well known that there is also a rainbow ceiling. It's a barrier that does not affect everyone equally. Just as the rainbow rises up in an arc, the height of an individual's rainbow ceiling can be lower or higher according to factors like experiences growing up, societal prejudices of the day, and the culture that exists in different sectors and workplaces. The rainbow ceiling is often invisible to employers and sometimes even to the LGBTQ+ people who work under its constraints. Many tend to assume: "Oh, that was a problem in the old days, but it's fine now." The evidence tells us that it is not. A ceiling exists, and it still holds down LGBTQ+ people at work. There are two big reasons that this matters: breaking the rainbow ceiling is not just the fair thing to do; it can improve the performance of individuals and the overall performance of the organization. First, even in companies and countries that consider themselves strong on policies, legislation and culture that do not tolerate discrimination, there is still, right now, a difference in opportunity between LGBTQ+ people and our peers. This difference becomes more pronounced, though often unrecognized, as people climb the career ladder. Any leader committed to fairness should factor this particular challenge into their work. The second reason is that there is a compelling link the between diversity in the workplace, including on executive teams, and better recruitment and retention; problem solving and innovation; and ultimately, financial performance, including revenue and market share. If LGBTQ+ people are given a fairer chance to succeed in our careers, it makes things better for everyone. Ten years ago the tech sector led the way. Can it follow through? Layla McCay is Director of Policy at the NHS Confederation and Executive Lead of the national Health and Care LGBTQ+ Leaders Network. A psychiatrist and founder of the Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health, her co-authored book, Restorative Cities: Urban Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing, was a finalist for ...

A study of more than 3000 health care leaders in Canada found that while gender parity was present, racialized executives were substantially under-represented. Diversity among health care leaders in Canada: a cross-sectional study of perceived gender and race was published in CMAJ. It found that at the ministry level fewer than 7 percent of health care leaders were racialized. The representation gap between racialized executives in healthcare and the racial demographics of the population it serves ranged from a low of 7.3% for Prince Edward Island to a high of 27.5% for Manitoba. The gap was highest in geographic locations with a greater percentage of racialized residents. On this episode, Drs. Omole and Bigham speak with the lead author of the study Anjali Sergeant, a final year medical student at McMaster University.  She describes how researchers determined race, compares results in different parts of the country and discusses how closely the results of the study reflect what she is seeing in her medical school cohort.Drs Omole and Bigham also speak with Anna Greenberg, the Chief Regional Officer, Toronto and East for Ontario Health. Ms. Greenberg is also the agency's Executive Lead for Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Racism. She discusses the efforts her agency is making to address this disparity.

Night clubs, strip clubs, sex clubs and bathhouses were expected to remove caps on the number of patrons next week, but the province announced Wednesday that the restrictions will stay in place for at least another 28 days while it monitors health indicators. Was this the right call? GUEST: Dr. Barry Pakes, Public Health and Preventive Medicine Physician, and a Professor with Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto - Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will meet its promise to cut gas prices by 5.7 cents before the next budget. The economic statement released last week by his Progressive Conservative government did not mention the cut that Ford promised in his 2018 election campaign. He also called on the federal government to match his government's pledge and said if that happens, he'll cut the tax “even further.” GUEST: Muhammad Ali, Senior Consultant for Crestview Strategies - An area around a number of barns and buildings will be the starting point for survivors tasked with finding the remains of missing children who attended the longest-running residential school in Canada. On Tuesday, the first phase of the quest began using ground penetrating radar to probe a 200-hectare parcel of land where the former Mohawk Institute was located in Brantford, Ont. Kimberly is calling on the provincial and federal governments to release thousands of records that she says are associated with the Mohawk Institute such as things like death certificates and transfers to sanatoriums that could help identify the children who went to the school and were never seen again.  GUEST: Kimberly R. Murray, Executive Lead of the Survivors' Secretariat See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is with Rob Webster. It is fascinating, inspiring and very timely. In 2016, Rob took up the Chief Executive job at the South West Yorkshire Partnership FT, which is a mental health provider. At the same time, he became the Executive Lead on what was then the West Yorkshire Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). Since then, Rob has seconded over to be the full time Chief Executive Lead on what is now the highly regarded West Yorkshire and Harrogate Integrated Care System (ICS). The HSJ publishes a list of the top 50 NHS Chief Executives in the country and this year Rob was ranked number 1, which was the first time a leader from a mental health trust has been given that honour. The HSJ citation noted Rob's commitment to staff wellbeing and working in partnership and we explore those areas in detail as well as discussing the challenge of health inequality. We also talk about what is important when building a partnership across a wide geographic area and how they have managed to make such recognised progress in West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Is it good relationships? Is it good rules? Or is it a bit of both? I hope you enjoy it!

Last week, Ken Steele sat down with Vianne Timmons, president of the University of Regina, to discuss why Indigenization matters to higher ed.  (ICYMI see it at https://youtu.be/iLe1mxiT4rM). This week, we turn from “why” to “how”, and look at dozens of ways that colleges and universities can better accommodate Indigenous students, integrate Indigenous ways of knowing and learning, and introduce all students to Indigenous perspectives.  This episode highlights more than 40 examples of ways in which non-Indigenous faculty, staff and administrators can help to indigenize the campus. The examples are drawn from “100 Ways to Indigenize and Decolonize Academic Programs and Courses,” a checklist developed for the UofR by Dr Shauneen Pete in 2015, when she was the University’s Executive Lead of Indigenization.  You can find the full checklist at: https://www.uregina.ca/president/assets/docs/president-docs/indigenization/indigenize-decolonize-university-courses.pdf or read Dr Pete’s article in Aboriginal Policy Studies vol. 6, no. 1, 2016: http://accle.ca/wp-content/uploads/Pete-100-Ways-of-Indigenizing-Decol.pdf   Because every Indigenous person and community have had very different experiences, it is important to work with elders, knowledge-keepers, and Indigenous staff and faculty to develop approaches for your own context. Without a doubt, we need to recruit more Indigenous staff, faculty, students, and graduate students. A big part of the challenge is to overcome financial and geographic barriers for prospective students in remote communities. Specialized cohort programs can encourage student success. Sessional hires can prioritize Indigenous candidates. There are many small things that cumulatively can improve the campus experience for Indigenous students. We can recognize Indigenous names and symbols on campus, acknowledge traditional lands, display Indigenous symbols and art. We can honour Indigenous alumni, nominate Indigenous scholars for awards, and recognize Elders with gifts and honoraria. We also may need to revise criteria for faculty promotion, perhaps by recognizing relational capital. We can also incorporate traditional celebrations and events on campus, from major annual pow-wows to traditional feasts, smudging, and round-dances. These events should engage all students, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, and can be considered at the departmental level. Every campus needs a gathering place for Indigenous students, where they can feel comfortable in their culture and share joys and challenges with each other and with elders. We can ensure that signage and promotional materials recognize Indigenous students’ languages and contributions. “You must invest financially in supports for Indigenous students,” says Timmons. We can create some courses designed specifically for Indigenous learners, and make others mandatory on “shared work” such as settler-Indigenous relations and reconciliation. Professional schools need to insert mandatory courses, and pursue Indigenous language programs like First Nations University’s Denee Teacher Education Program. The biggest challenge for settlers is to recognize our biases. Many of us have been raised in a Eurocentric culture, and we take capitalism and the scientific method for granted. Whiteness isn’t neutral, and we can help overcome students’ limitations by naming the dominant worldview, and ensuring that alternative perspectives are visible. Administrators can ensure that workshops, release time and financial supports are available for faculty interested in Indigenizing their courses. Faculty can co-teach with Indigenous elders, alumni and community members. We can establish Aboriginal Advisory Circles within each Faculty. Instructors can move away from lecture and try a circle format in class, or land-based learning. Even nontraditional evaluation methods, like performance or artistic expression, could be considered. Ultimately Indigenization can’t just be the job of Indigenous people: it will only have succeeded when everyone on campus understands and advances it. Indigenous faculty and staff are already burdened with much extra work, and Indigenous students cannot be expected to fill in gaps in the curriculum. All of us know how to learn, and need to commit time and energy to the topic. Indigenous history is being written, and Dr Pete’s checklist includes a helpful bibliography of sources. All faculty should consciously seek out Indigenous scholarship in their field, and every campus leader has a responsibility to learn more about Indigenizing the academy.   Vianne Timmons began her teaching career on the Babine First Nations Reserve in BC, and was appointed President of the University of Regina in 2008. She has helped advance Indigenization through dozens of initiatives, and two successive strategic plans. Vianne is one of 12 recipients of the national 2019 Indspire Award.

Download for offline listening. Customer analytics has come a long way since banks first started building Customer Information Files in the 1990s. “CIFs”, as they were called, were the primitive forerunner to what we now call “data lakes”. Just getting access to data was the main barrier back then – closely rivalled by the suspect quality of the contact data. Today the biggest analytical challenge for banks isn’t the limitations of technology: it’s embedding data-driven decision-making into the operational DNA of the bank. Most banks still limit their analytical muscle to product cross-selling, risk management and fraud detection. But as banks face stiffening competition from fintech interlopers, eager to capitalize on the mass migration of customers toward web and mobile banking, they can see the smoke signals: either they make it easier for customers to do business with them across multiple touchpoints, or they face the likelihood of losing them to less costly providers. Lori Bieda, who heads up the Analytical Centre of Excellence at Bank of Montreal, believes that banks can only succeed if they master the science of journey analytics. People crave both the convenience of online banking and personal attention from their local branch. They expect to be able to easily open an account, apply for a loan, pay a bill, cash a cheque, or monitor their investments using any channel or device of their choice, at any time. Identifying the breakpoints in that experience – where the journey is interrupted or disconnected due to faulty wiring - is crucial to customer loyalty and retention. “I’m a huge advocate of journey analytics”, she says. Lori’s mandate stretches far beyond journey optimization. She’s also focused on cultivating a data culture at the bank: one where analytical literacy and data fluency are found at all levels of the company, not simply concentrated in a “genius” pool of data scientists. Which explains her missionary work on the speaking circuit. She’s an eloquent ambassador of analytics, promoting it as a strategic tool for converting insight into business outcomes, whether that’s higher satisfaction scores or attrition reduction or simply increasing the average number of accounts. But realizing the full value of analytics, according to Lori, means looking at many different types of data horizontally – events, click paths, transactions, interactions – to isolate the moments that make or break an experience. With a wealth of experience in the analytical field – from her formative years at the database marketing agency Rapp Collins to heading up Client Insight at both CIBC and TD to serving as Executive Lead of Customer Intelligence at SAS – Lori has the rare ability to connect data science to business strategy. In short, she is the ultimate business translator, as she demonstrates in this insightful (excuse the pun) interview.

Dr. O’Connor speaks with Soma Stout, Executive Lead of 100 Million Healthier Lives, on how the public health industry should come together to examine the driving forces behind chronic disease, and how the landscape can be improved.

Date: March 9, 2017 Featuring: Frederick C. Ryckman, MD, Professor of Surgery, Senior Vice President, Medical Operations, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) Uma R. Kotagal, MBBS, MSc, Executive Lead, Community and Population Health, CCHMC Pat Rutherford, RN, MS, Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Making sure patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time couldn’t be a clearer set of aims. And yet achieving them isn’t so simple, especially at large health systems. It requires a number of underlyi​ng system improvements, including well-designed hospital flow. This has been a focus for health care for the past few decades, often prompted by bottlenecks and overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs). Things are getting better in some places, but there’s definitely a ways to go. IHI’s work on hospital flow dates back to the early 2000s. That’s when we and hospital teams started learning about the ways most hospitals scheduled their operating rooms, practically ensuring backups and delays there and in EDs because of the frequent mismatch between planning for emergency surgeries and elective ones. We check in on progress and the issues still bedeviling improvers ― along with the latest on what sorts of changes are necessary on the March 9, 2017, WIHI: The Right Care, Right Setting, and Right Time of Hospital Flow.

Date: July 28, 2016 Featuring: Marianne McPherson, PhD, MSPH, Director, 100 Million Healthier Lives Implementation Soma Stout, MD, MS, Executive Lead, 100 Million Healthier Lives Laura Brennan, MSW, Co-Chair, 100 Million Healthier Lives Leadership Team Drew Martin, MS, Leadership Team, 100 Million Healthier Lives Shanika L. Blanton, Ph.D., Director of Curriculum Development and Assessment, Ra-messut Academy of Higher Learning, Chicago Chapter The goal, when you first hear it, is daunting: We will help 100 million people live healthier lives by 2020. One hundred million. Not 1 million. Not 10 million. Not even 50 million. But 100 million. In a way, it sounds abstract, something someone hangs on a wall and then looks at for inspiration every once in a while.   But the goal (and the work to get there) is very concrete.   For nearly two years, the “unprecedented collaboration of change agents across sectors” convened by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has been changing the world in meaningful ways. Hundreds of communities around the world are working with kids, veterans, and elders on move-the-needle priorities like nutrition, mental health, and equity — the price of admission to 100 Million Healthier Lives.   We explored the first two years of the project and looked forward to its future on the July 28 WIHI, 100 Million Healthier LIves: From Vision to Reality.
