This episode of Management Meets delves into the complex world of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) in business. Bringing together academia and industry, hosts Steve and Katie welcome alumni guests:

• Holly Simmons, Class of 2020 BSc Business graduate and founder of career management platform, Niya.
• Ali Kazimi, Class of 1992 BSc Business (then known as BSc Business Administration) graduate and Managing Director at Hansuke Consulting.
• Prof. Mairi Maclean, Class of 1990 MBA graduate and Associate Dean of Faculty for the School of Management.

Hear how our guests approach fostering a truly inclusive workplace culture, discussing the complexity of ED&I in business, exploring unconscious bias, equity, and the significance of creating opportunities for underrepresented groups.

Associate Professor Luke Fletcher provides an academic perspective to the narrative, explaining the implications of a variety of approaches to fostering ED&I in the workplace and underlining the necessity of a comprehensive approach beyond tick-box exercises for genuine organisational integration and benefit.

Listen and explore the significance of diversity in business, educational institution initiatives, and the holistic approach you need to take for effective workplace equity.
