Ollie on Work DE&I Special with Zoe Young & Nishita Dewan
In the final episode of this first series of Take My Advice, we focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.
My first guest is Zoe Young, founder of Half The Sky, author of Women's Work: How Mothers Manage Flexible Working in Careers and Family Life, and co-investigator of Work After Lockdown, a research project exploring how the effects of the pandemic on working from home, and looking at which new behaviours and working practices will remain, and which should be encouraged. We discuss flexible working, job design, and the impact of the changing face of work on women, in particular.
I then speak to Nishita Dewan, founder of CollaboratEQ and a diversity and inclusion advisor to organisations like BCorps, The Wellcome Trust, The Royal Society of Arts, and Virgin. We discuss how businesses have responded to the seismic events of 2020, as well as focusing on the value of becoming a learning organisation.
