Inclusion within organizational spaces. 

Roy breakdown the components of the CoCo “DIE pie” and we talk about the multiple dimensions of Diversity, Inclusion and Equality and its links to micro-culturalism. 

The topic of Insiders and Outsiders, and how we are all often both “in and out of what is valued” at the same time, in different contexts, is also discussed. Using the metaphor of organizations as houses, both explore how comfort, which CoCo defines as inclusion, is fundamental to productivity. How is comfort (Inclusion) affected by what happens socially, both internally i.e., within the house, and externally in the broader cultural context? 

Listen as we explore how the foundations of organizational houses often manifest in the South African context. Workplace productivity, or the lack thereof, is also explored against the three fundamental pillars of the organizational house: talent, leadership, and culture (TLC).
