Quotes on Future-Proofing against Division at Work

  • We all have protected characteristics. We all have an age, a gender, an ethnicity and a nationality.
  • It's easy to do the paperwork and sit around the table to discuss it. But if we want to see real, tangible change, I think we have to get to the needs.
  • If we're haemorrhaging staff, we've got tribunals. People are going to go on Glassdoor and social media and give a bad reputation.
  • Creating this environment is not only beneficial for individual employees, but of course, it boosts morale, engagement, and retention across an organisation.
  • There are underlying reasons and motivations behind what people say they want and what they truly need, and politicking often gets in the way.
