Rice & Peas and Fish & Chips I was recently joined by Pauline Campbell, a pioneering black British lawyer and published author, for my latest episode of the U-Triumph Podcast series. During our conversation, Pauline shared her extraordinary journey of climbing the ladder. Set amidst the backdrop of 1960s London, rife with racism and discrimination, Pauline's story emerges as a testament to resilience, determination, and unwavering advocacy. From her formative years battling low expectations in school, to embarking on a late pursuit of a law degree while balancing a full-time job: Pauline's path to success was strewn with obstacles. Yet, she triumphed, crafting an award-winning career and becoming a beacon of hope for marginalised communities, notably the Windrush generation. She is an extraordinary example of being the ladder, from her pivotal role as chair of her organisation's race equality network to her relentless advocacy for Windrush victims. During our conversation we also dove into the persistent challenges of racism, sexism, and social mobility plaguing the legal profession, underscoring the imperative for systemic change. I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with Pauline, as much as I enjoyed speaking with her.
International medical graduates form a large proportion of our workforce, with many working in SAS (specialty and specialist) or locally-employed roles. In this episode, Nitin and I discuss the challenges faced by international medical graduates, we talk about racism, and he tells me about the importance of nationally agreed contracts. All of us need to be open to diversity, and be aware of the prejudices and assumptions that we all inevitably hold. Talent doesn't come with a British accent! A number of national initiative are taking place to better support international medical graduates and SAS and locally-employed doctors, and each one of us can also look at what we can do in our immediate environment. The charter for locally-employed doctors in the UK NHS can be accesses here.Nitin Shrotri is a Consultant Urologist, who was awarded the BAUS Gold Medal for 2022, and has recently been appointed as Visiting Professor at the Institute of Medicine at the University of Bolton and also as Vice Chair at the Centre for Race Equality in Medicine.

Queen is one of greatest rock bands of all time, but not in the United States. This band cranked out hit after hit and millions of albums around the world. Still, many Americans do not know them. Likewise, many Americans , especially young Americans do not know, and/or cannot explain the actions that molded and shaped our American history. Race Equality, ending Vietnam, Watergate, and Women's Rights are examples of what people fought for. The seventies opened the doors to much of life as we know it.

Can an employer really claim to have strong ESG credentials if they aren't addressing societal issues like race equality and discrimination, and if they're simply relying on policies and training?How can employers meet the changing expectations of regulators, investors, employees, job candidates and clients?The legal definition of race is much broader than many people realise.

The region's economic development is also supported by the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), a private sector-led board comprising political and business leaders from around the city region.The region is home to 1.6 million residents including the oldest African heritage community in the UK, the oldest Chinese community in all of Europe, large Indian, Latin American, Malaysian, African-Caribbean, Ghanaian, Somali and Yemeni populations each with at least several thousand people.In his welcome and introduction to the Episode, Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region Combined Authority said that the region had been known for centuries for its welcoming nature which had created a diverse and celebrated community. He spoke candidly about the rightness of the city's apology for its history in the slave trade and also spoke optimistically about the future: what is needed now, is to build a fairer, more socially just society for all.Today's Episode, brought together as our Guests, two inspirational women, Lorna Rogers and Elaine Bowker, to share their insights into the practicalities, challenges and opportunities of system and place-based leadership of Anti-racism. Of particular interest is their collaborative work.Born and raised in Liverpool, Lorna Rogers is currently Assistant Director of Mayoral Programmes at Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. She has over 20 years public sector programme and project management experience of working locally and nationally. She returned to the region to work for the Combined Authority (CA) as she wanted to make a contribution and difference in her home region.In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in the US, Lorna asked to take a lead role in her organisation to take action on Race Equality and is working collaboratively with other institutions to make a change. The CA has developed and published a Race Equality Programme with a vision that will ‘tackle systemic injustice and inequality and drive forward positive change for our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic employees and residents – influencing the partners we work with to do the same.' The Programme has three areas of work: CA as Employer, CA as Commissioner and CA as Facilitator.Discussing the Race Equality Programme, Lorna gave examples of the 2025 achievement targets set out in the Declaration of Intent, the support received for the Programme and the hoped for achievements through the race equality hub.Elaine Bowker is Principal and Group Chief Executive of the City of Liverpool College which as an anchor institution within the city, has a key role in supporting the City Region to ‘build back better'. The College is in the top 10 per cent of colleges in the UK. It is a leader in providing high quality skills and education, delivering opportunities for growth to people and businesses in the Liverpool City Region and beyond. The College has a student population of more than 10,000, with more than a third of 16-18-year olds in the city studying with the College. The College has affiliated with the BFELG. Affiliation provides access to a framework of support and services for deep cultural change – #AntiRacismInAction, using the BFELG 10 Point Plan Diagnostic Toolkit as a departure point.Elaine is also a member of the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Council (LEP) and is its EDI Champion. She is an early signatory to the BFELG Open letter as well as an ally. During the livestream episode, Elaine spoke about the learning and challenges of the College's journey so far in becoming an anti-racist organisation, and the power of doing so as part of a place-based leadership network of committed and local leaders including Lorna Rogers.Elaine also her role discussed her role as EDI Champion for the LEP, setting up the Race Equality Business Support Group (a sub-group of the LEP) with support from Lorna, and the aim of diversification of Boards across the Region.Guests talked about the unique opportunities and challenges faced by the City Region in respect of ethnic diversity, and the success factors in seeking to address these; their respective organisational responses to ethnic diversity, and the steps being taken to move forward on this agenda. They also touched on their roles as ‘custodians' of the future legacy for their communities.Watch the Livestream to hear Laura Rogers and Elaine Bowker talk about their respective drivers for #AntiRacismInAction, their tips for other leaders and key players to accelerate progress towards reflecting their communities and their individual dream scenarios for Anti-racism.The Episode was co-produced by BFELG and FE News, co-anchored by Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News), and Amarjit Basi, BFELG Director.Tune in on Monday 22 November at 9.30am for another place-based Episode – #AntiRacismInAction: Scotland.* 'Black' is used as an inclusive definition to refer to people from ethnically diverse backgrounds who share a lived experience of the effects of racism.

Northumbria University is currently working through the process to achieve the Race Equality Charter (https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/equality-charters/race-equality-charter). We talk to Professor Tom Lawson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and historian about the approach Northumbria is taking, why achieving the charter is important to them and how it fits into the bigger diversity and inclusion picture.We have a really interesting conversation about listening and why that is key to making changes and improvements while recognising that the journey isn't complete when the charter is achieved. The work done as part of the process is more important than the charter itself.Changing cultures in Higher Education, making them more inclusive and giving everyone equal opportunity is incredibly important to make sure that research is effective and international research collaborations thrive.Do follow us on Twitter: @divrespodFor more information on the work we do please visit: www.diversiunity.com

Here's another exciting and informative episode for you!In this episode, Nadia, Fran and Eugene are joined by the terrific Nimal Jude for a conversation about the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) in social care. The WRES is a set of standards/framework to measure different aspects of social care in relation to race. Local Authorities are asked to submit data in relation to a number of different aspects such as; who gets access to paid CPD, reports of bullying, who gets promotions etc. With a WRES already established in the NHS, Nimal and colleagues are eager to replicate the success of the WRES in the NHS to benefit social care.This is a fascinating listen and an example of Anti-Racist social work practice!If you enjoy this episode then please share with your friends, leave a review and follow The Social Matters Podcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

October is Black History Month, a rich part of our history and something we should recognise all year round. This episode covers how inclusion and diversity are being implemented and supported throughout our trusts as Saffron Cordery, NHS Providers deputy chief executive, Ifti Majid, chief executive at Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and Steve McManus, chief Executive of Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, discuss the actions board members are taking to promote racial equality and be actively inclusive through their conversations and actions as leaders.
In this episode, Johanna Holtan Co-Convenor of the Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-Committee (REAR) and Programme Director, Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program talks to intersectional feminist scholar from the Global South, Dr Radhika Govinda, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the School of Social and Political Science. Dr Govinda sits on the steering committees for the University's GenderED and RACE.ED networks. She is Associate Director of CRITIQUE, and an active member of the Centre for South Asian Studies. In this episode, she discusses decolonisation as a process of decentring whiteness, which entails unpacking the historical implications of deconstructing knowledge production. For her, the classroom is a key entry point for undertaking such a process in inspiring students to insert dilemmas into their subjectivities. In this way, the classroom is conducive space for exploring discomforts, assumptions, and vulnerabilities.

#AntiRacismInAction: Higher Education with Oliver Young, Charles Egbu and David Mba Episode 3 of 9 BFELG Livestreams #AntiRacismInAction - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain, co-produced by BFELG and FE News, was aired today Monday 18th October.The Episode, #AntiRacismInAction: Higher Education, was special in that it featured Professor Charles Egbu and Professor David Mba, two eminent academicians who are *Black and who are leaders of Higher Education institutions in the UK. Black Vice-Chancellors and Black Deputy Vice-Chancellors are very few and far between in UK Higher Education.Professor Egbu is Vice Chancellor, Leeds Trinity University. Appointed in 2020, he is the first UK university Vice-Chancellor of African heritage. Professor David Mba is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research, Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise, University of the Arts (UAL), London.In a sector where 25% of students are from Black communities, sadly, only 2.9% of university Vice-Chancellors/Principals (7 of 238) are Black. This situation is even worse than in Further Education where 8.1% (19 of 234) of college CEOs/Principals and 30% of students are Black. Very few board Chairs are from Black communities in both sectors and hardly will one find a Black leader in the senior hierarchy of regulatory bodies and organisations that provide both sectors with support. Black students are less likely to gain a place in high tariff universities or achieve a first or 2:1 degree. This cannot be right.Introducing the Episode and the Guests, Oliver Young, Chief Diversity Officer, University of Exeter Business School, and a member of the BFELG stated unequivocally: ‘Anti- racism is the only way to cohesively advance our ambitions as a diverse and representative society. Anti-racism is a challenge we all need to take collective responsibility for, and address for our future generations.'Racial inequalities are a significant issue in higher education. This was identified as one of five fundamental guiding principles of Advance HE's Race Equality Charter (REC), formally launched in 2016. The Charter aims to improve the representation, progression and success of Black staff and students withing higher education.In 2019, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Report, ‘Tackling racial harassment: universities challenged' uncovered ‘widespread evidence' of racial harassment on university campuses and in November 2020 Universities UK (UUK) published guidance on tackling racial harassment in higher education. The guidance acknowledges that the higher education sector cannot reach its full potential unless it benefits from the talents of the whole population, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds can benefit from the opportunities it provides. Importantly, the guidance acknowledges that racial harassment is just one manifestation of structural racism in higher education and points out that a wider programme of culture and policy reform is needed to tackle racism and racial inequalities of all forms.There are currently about 79 institutional REC members, 17 of which are award holders. A recent independent evaluation (March 2021) of the REC identified the need for greater strategic senior manager and institutional buy-in for race equality.Against this background, co-anchors Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News) and Robin Landman OBE, and BFELG Executive Member, were in conversation with the featured Guests, exploring the particular Race Equality opportunities and challenges for the HE sector and their individual organisations and the specific HE system leadership actions necessary to make tangible and rapid progress.David touched on his links with the BFELG and highlighted UAL's Anti-racist Strategy. UAL is a collegiate university, specialising in arts, design, fashion and the performing arts.

In this Teaching Matters podcast series, produced by The Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-Committee (REAR) at The University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Teaching Matters, we hear from different academics at the University about what Decolonising the Curriculum means for them, and how they have put this into practice in their learning and teaching or research. They also share some readings that they have found useful. In this episode, Johanna Holtan Co-Convenor of the Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-Committee (REAR) and Programme Director of the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program talks to Dr Shadaab Rahemtulla, a Lecturer in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at the School of Divinity. He is also the Programme Director of the newly launched Masters in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations. He argues that decolonisation is a conversation about power that consists in robbing knowledge of its so-called neutrality and innocence and understanding knowledge-production as located within a social context that is always filled with hierarchies and inequalities. In this humbling conversation, Dr Rahemtulla discusses how decolonising the curriculum is a reflexive exercise that those in power have a responsibility to practice.

#AntiRacismInAction Episode 2: Employers and Employment with Grace Haynes, Amarjit Dhillon and Robin Ghurbhurun - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain, was aired today, Monday 11th October and co-produced by BFELG and FE NewsIn a poignant and passionate introduction to the Episode, Grace Haynes, Head of People & Culture, Coventry City Council, said ‘Anti-racism means everything to me'. Juxtaposing racism to Covid 19, she also said that we might have to learn to live with the latter, but we must never accept living with racism. She called for collaborative action to fight to ensure that eradicating racism is at the forefront of everything that we do.The Episode focused on #AntiRacismInAction: Employers and Employment. Co-anchors Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News) and Stella Ngozi Mbubaegbu CBE, BFELG Executive Member, were in conversation with the featured Guests, Amarjit Dhillon, Turning Point's Chief Information Officer also with accountability for Commercial Ventures, and Robin Ghurbhurun, Managing Director, further education and skills at Jisc. Turning Point is a leading social enterprise with over 4,500 staff. It provides health and social care services that help over 100,000 people annually in over 300 locations across England, live they life they want. The organisation's vision is to constantly find ways to support more people to discover new possibilities in their lives. Amarjit Dhillon belongs to a small group of business leaders brought together by Sir Ken Olisa OBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London, and Dan Brown, Founder and CEO of Positive Transformation Group. The purpose of the small group is to create cross-industry sector support for the message of Anti- racism in the business community throughout the UK in support of the BFELG's mission, working alongside Education. With a staff of approximately 900, Jisc is the UK higher, further education and skills sectors' not for profit organisation for digital services and solutions. It champions the importance and potential of digital technologies for UK education and research. Its vision is for the UK to be the most digitally-advanced higher education and research nation in the world. Jisc also welcomes customers from local government, public sector, non-profits and industry. Robin Ghurbhurun has been an outstanding supporter and advocate of the BFELG from its inception and Jisc as an organisation is also a strong supporter and ally.Responding to questions, both Guests talked about their personal and respective organisations' response to ethnic diversity, the steps they are taking to move forward on this agenda, their engagement with the BFELG and how the Corporate and Education sectors can work together. There were interesting observations about why given the ‘business case' for ethnic diversity in corporate leadership - referencing the McKinsey Report 2020, Diversity wins: How inclusion matters, there appears to be very little progress in this area in UK plc.Amarjit highlighted the important role of wellbeing practices to address the race agenda and how Turning Point as an employer is applying these practices in the workplace and with their our own apprentices and are working with training providers to support them to apply the same offering to their schemes. Jisc has an interesting approach whereby Diversity & Inclusion and Race Equality are pursued as two separate strands of activity. Robin spoke about challenging staff recruitment, selection and development practice and also shared how the BFELG 10 point plan is being implemented across Jisc.Watch the Livestream for Amarjit Dhillon and Robin Ghurbhurun's suggestions for accelerating ethnic diversity in the workplace and their call to action to Employers!

#AntiRacismInAction with Shaid Mahmood, Dr Sam Parrett OBE and Mandeep Gill BFELG Livestreams #AntiRacismInAction - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain, co-produced by BFELG and FE News was launched today, 4th October, with the first of 9 Episodes.The launch episode was introduced by Shaid Mahmood, Chair of the Association of Colleges (AoC) and Chief Officer Transformation and Change, Leeds City Council who spoke powerfully about what #AntiRacismInAction means to him – personal accountability; common purpose; proactive, conscious, determined effort to tackle racism in all its multidimensional forms, and to eradicate it.Co-anchors Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News), and Robin Landman OBE, BFELG Executive Member were in conversation with the featured Guests, Mandeep Gill, Principal and CEO, Newham Sixth Form College (NewVIc), and Dr Sam Parrett CBE, Group Principal and CEO of London South East Colleges (LSEC). Both CEOs were early signatories to the BFELG ‘Open letter' and both institutions have affiliated with the BFELG. Board Chairs, Stephen Howlett CBE, DL (LSEC) and Martin Rosner (NewVIc), are strong supporters and allies of the BFELG.In a wide ranging conversation, Guests talked about their engagement with the BFELG, the particular Race Equality opportunities and challenges for the FE sector and their respective organisations, and touched on specific FE system leadership actions necessary to make rapid progress.Mandeep Gill touched on why data no longer matters and honesty does. The never-ending cycle of looking at data, getting shocked into action, the data shifting slightly and people patting themselves on the back for a job-well-done, only to come back to the data (often a few years later), getting shocked… is not having impact.Rather than the data, answer honestly the question: are we absolutely confident that we are treating each other fairly and respectfully? If not, then do something about it. A topic of discussion was LSEC's experience of developing a sustainable and long-term diversity and inclusion strategy which has led to the creation of their ‘Enough is Enough – Tackling Racial Inequality' ten-year grants programme. The idea behind this programme is to enable students and staff to develop their own projects, tackling issues that are important to them. The College Group has committed funding over a 10-year period; sufficient time to bring about real, lasting change.
Welcome to this podcast series produced by The Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-Committee (REAR) at The University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Teaching Matters where we hear from different academics at the University about what Decolonising the Curriculum means for them and how they have put this into practice in their learning and teaching or research. They also share some readings they have found useful. In this episode, Dr Gwenetta Curry, a lecturer in Race, Ethnicity, and Health in the Usher Institute discusses with Prof Rowena Arshad about decolonising the curriculum as a practice that consists of acknowledging the racist history of certain disciplines. Trained as a medical sociologist, Dr Curry endeavours to embed issues of race and racism within the medical training programme at the Usher's institute. Her role ranges from redesigning course material to include the lens of race and racism, to delivering webinars for the NHS to raise awareness about how systemic racism impacts patient care. In this engaging conversation, Dr Curry reminds of the importance of questioning the power dynamics that underlie various forms of knowledge-making.

It’s nearly thirty years since Sharon Stone was in the film Basic Instinct, with the famous uncrossing-of-legs scene. She really wanted the role but only got it after twelve other actresses turned it down. After Basic Instinct more films followed including Casino alongside Robert De Niro. In 2001, after adopting her first child, she suffered a stroke and almost died. She’s now written her autobiography called The Beauty of Living Twice. She gave Woman's Hour her only UK broadcast interview.

Seizing the Opportunity: The case for embracing civil society's role in democracy. A new report by the Brexit Civil Society Alliance that looks at why now more than ever civil society organisations need to be engaged with fully. Civil society organisations play a vital role in a functioning democracy, creating a bridge between citizens and the state. With the UK's future in flux facing many challenges as we tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and leave the EU we need to embrace the expertise and experience of organisations. At the moment organisations face many barriers to being engaged by government of all levels. To hear more about what these are and why they need to be broken down, Jacob Millen-Bamford speaks to Nathalie Sherring from Dorset Race Equality Council Read the report today!

Dealing with race, equality, and bias is a problem that continues to confound Americans, in large part because we are not even comfortable talking about it. Yet our children and teens are watching events unfold in the world and they have questions, real questions. As educators, we need to support thoughtful dialogue. So how do we talk to our students and to each other in ways that are constructive and productive?In this episode, Chris talks with LaCoyya Weathington, Assistant Superintendent for Compliance, Equity and Student Services at the Cherry Hill New Jersey Public School District. LaCoyya's background in education spans 27 years with a focus on improving educational opportunities for students, including serving as Director of Education for the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission. Highlights include:Why the events of this past year have been traumatic for students (and not only for students of color)Exploring the notion of “colorblindness” and race as a social constructRecommendations for looking at practices, from curriculum decisions to disciplinary actions to hiring practices, to identify systematic biasResources to guide us in looking at our own thinking and behaviorHow to begin an honest dialogue with students and staff of color.“As an administrator, you can't be the person that's watching on the sidelines and not doing anything. Our role is to set the example for the district. For every person that interacts with us, we're setting an example. So we have to look at our own biases. And we have to be very courageous.”
"There's always the opportunity for you to be able to speak truth and speak better when you listen better. I think that there are because people just group listening as one [or] there's listening to learn or what we call information on this thing where you kind of just gathering all that information. There is critical listening, where you're listening to evaluate and analyse stuff to help you towards your actual thinking [and] empathetic thinking or therapeutical empathetic listening that people need to have. You could add to that active listening and all different forms. Those three for me are really important that first one I listened to learn. We can just hear where people are coming from" "I love to be able to let people loose. Even if, you've got a bit of a solution, let people loose and let them just work, just totally go and brainstorm and start thinking of different ways of approaching this. How do organisations have these really tough conversations? ... Let's be brave about that leadership ... I would always ask questions. I would always challenge people ... I always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong ... For me, it was about how do we use humour ... you're up against this wall of constant ignorance and wilful ignorance, I would give people the benefit of the doubt." Provocateur, leadership coach, board advisor, David McQueen and I discuss leadership, the good, the bad and the ugly. True leadership is not about you. It's about your role in helping other get to the same destination. They create more leaders. Bad leaders make it all about them. Great leaders are trusted, have clarity of vision, are vulnerable, invite criticism, are resilient. We discuss inclusivity, diversity and culture. Potent leaders create a space for other to feel safe to express themselves, to feel that they belong and have a place that is valued. We explore Dave's experience of being black and British growing up in North London in the 1970s. He says his love of books and his wicked sense of humour helped him navigate wilful ignorance and racism. Dave challenges compliance based diversity which has come about in response to Race Equality legislation and makes the point that we operate in a global market, and suggests that you fail to hire people like your global customers, at your peril. Hire people like your customers in all the diverse markets you sell into. -- To book a 1 to 1 with me or check out my 250+ podcast interviews with some of the best salespeople, sales leaders, sales psychologists, founders and entrepreneurs, trainers, coaches and authors click here - https://linktr.ee/marcuscauchi

Welcome to the first episode of Good Work FM! A social impact podcast about good people doing good sh*t. For our first episode, Monica interviews Kimberly Wilson, founder of HuedCo (https://huedco.com/), an app that helps people of color find doctors of color to fight the inequalities that POC's face regularly within the healthcare system. Kimberly began her push to demand action within the health care system when she was faced with racism by doctors who ignored her dangerous health problems and ultimately created the service she wished she had when her road to recovery began.Find HuedCo Athttps://huedco.com/IG: @huedcoTwitter: @HuedcoFollow Good WorkIG: @goodworkpodcastFollow Down to Donatehttps://downtodonate.com/IG: @_downtodonateTwitter: @_downtodonateFollow MonicaIG: @monpuffycombs

In episode 15 of Reworked, Rachael Wilson talks to Rob Neil OBE, Head of Project Race at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the former Chair of the Civil Service Race Forum. Rob provides a candid insight into his experience of being a black man in the Civil Service. With over three decades of lived experience, Rob offers a refreshingly honest analysis of the experience of minority groups in the workplace. He gives real examples of how he leads on diversity, how he is equipping his cohort of race ambassadors to do the same and talks about why he is calling on senior leaders to clear the runway so that progress on race equality can be made. Sponsored by the Permanent Secretary and Civil Service Race Champion, Richard Heaton, Project Race is a corporate initiative that supports the delivery of MoJ’s published objectives to deliver increased numbers of BAME staff at senior Civil Service level. The project facilitates honest conversations with the aim of becoming more comfortable and confident talking about race across the MoJ. Project Race is part of the Civil Service’ ambitious diversity and inclusion strategy to become the UK’s most inclusive employer by 2020. Rob was awarded an OBE in The Queen’s 2018 New Year’s Honours list for ‘Services to Race Equality in the workplace and the community’. He was shortlisted as an Ethnicity Awards Top 8 BAME Workplace Hero in August 2018. You're listening to Reworked, the EW Group podcast on workplace culture.
