Description

Welcome back to Breaking the Binary, we sit down with special guest Claire Quigley, Founder and Director of Launchpad9, to explore how diversity serves as a powerful tool for driving organisational success.

We delve into the fundamental definitions of diversity, and discuss the importance of diversity in fostering better outcomes and the critical role of diverse leadership in organisational performance.

Despite evidence supporting the benefits of gender diversity, the conversation shifts to why there remains a significant gender gap in corporate leadership and what actionable steps can be taken to address it. We also explore strategies for holding managers accountable for promoting diversity and making inclusive hiring decisions, as well as ways employees can drive inclusion up to leadership levels.

We hope you find this episode interesting, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
