Why short-term diversity efforts fail - and how to fix them

In this episode of The Inclusive Growth Show, Toby Mildon is joined by Juliane Schlüsener, a systemic organisational developer, researcher and coach. Together, they explore how organisations can drive sustainable equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) by going beyond surface-level initiatives and embedding change across systems, structures and people.

Juliane shares insights from her research into women working in male-dominated industries, revealing how stereotype threat undermines performance. She also explains why organisations must align their structures and processes with people-focused training to achieve lasting change.

Key takeaways:

• The science behind underperformance in minority groups
• Why short-term EDI initiatives often erode employee trust
• How to embed long-term change through a systemic lens
• The role of leaders in supporting inclusive cultures
• Why Juliane remains hopeful despite societal EDI backlash
