Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

The increased focus on data

I explain how legislation shifted the focus towards evidence instead of anecdotes in 2018

“I think I got this one right, because it was amusing and disturbing to see all these companies, falling over themselves to publish their data; many at the last minute.”

The increased focus on Pronouns

I highlight why the use of pronouns is going to become more important in the workplace

“we’re going to see a lot more focus on Pronouns and how they’re used in the workplace. I’ve wanted to say this one for at least two years and if I’m honest, I think this is one for 2020 but I want to throw it out there now”

The increased focus on Belonging

I explain why there may be less talk about Diversity and Inclusion more about about Belonging.

“diversity is like being invited to party, inclusion is being asked to dance, and belonging is dancing like no one’s watching”
