August 05, 2021 15:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MBContent warning: discussions around discrimination. While our age shouldn’t matter at work, it seems that however old we are, there are still stereotypes and assumptions that often have a negative effect on us all. In our discussions around age, we’ll be delving into everything from not being taken seriously as a younger person, to the hormonal and physiological changes that affect us as we get older, to answer the question of why, with regards to diversity and inclusion, age deserves more...

S4E10 Diversity & Inclusion at work: religion pt. 1
July 22, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBContent warning: discussions around discrimination. Naturally somewhat polarising, religion has long been a topic of conversation that many of us choose to avoid. With our beliefs being such a personal thing, there is perhaps a presumption that discussions around religion will lead to heated debates. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. For the next two episodes, we’re talking to a variety of people about how their faith forms part of their identity, and why it’s important that they’r...

This episode was produced by...

July 08, 2021 16:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBContent warning: discussions around mental illness and mental distress, references to suicide. Mental health is different for everyone, so in the next two episodes, we’ll be hearing from a variety of perspectives and experiences to discuss why, ultimately, it’s crucial that we create environments where people can talk about how they’re feeling, if they want to, and how we can take better care of our own and others’ mental health when things get tough. This episode was produced by Alice Cra...

June 17, 2021 15:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MBContent warning: discussions around discrimination based on sexuality. For today’s episode, we’re discussing sexuality. Whether it’s through blatant homophobia, or through seemingly innocent yet often intrusive or uncomfortable questions, we discuss how much sexuality already comes into the workplace for members of the LGBTQ+ community, and how we can all become more aware or this, and therefore more inclusive. This episode was produced by Alice Crabtree. Music used: Ketsa - ‘Ascend Dub...
