Webinar overview

This webinar is part of our National Inclusion Week programme.

Progress in society and the workplace will always come up against some resistance. Those in a position of privilege and power, knowingly or unknowingly, often struggle to give up some of that privilege and power to make space for others.

The term ‘woke’, originating in the Black community in the US meaning to be aware of the oppression that Black people experience in the US, has been mischaracterised as ‘going too far’ or ‘creating something out of nothing’ to give credibility to resisting change and to distract from real issues.

So, how do we challenge this in our organisations, and how do we get buy in from senior leadership who might not consider inclusion and diversity work a priority?

Join us for the webinar to discuss this topic further and garner some helpful tips to accelerating change in your workplace.

This webinar is hosted by Cheryl Carty, I&D expert from Inclusive Employers.
