What do you enjoy about your role at Inclusive Employers?

Working with our members, it’s a real pleasure to support and advise them to make inclusion part of their organisation. It’s varied and challenging work, no two days are the same.

What has been your biggest achievement to date?

Developing our Inclusion Allies programme and seeing the impact it’s having across different organisations.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?

It’s more of a phrase I use to remind myself of the bigger picture: ‘strive for progress, not perfection’.
