Camelot Inclusive Leader Series Ep.002: The inclusion paradox - Considerations to get real inclusion right.

How can we avoid an Inclusion Paradox and get 'real' inclusion right within the insurance industry?

This episode will see host Jess Heagren, and Guest Speaker Ade Shokoya discuss how we can ensure we get inlcusion right within the insurance industry, and the benefits this will have on workplace culture and the engagement of employees within your business. 

We will explore case studies where efforts to include certain groups have inadvertenly excluded others, we will analyse the unintended consequences of this and how this can then impact the workplace culture, employee engagement, and even customer perceptions in the insurance industry. 

Ade will showcase MeBe’s approach to creating diverse and inclusive toys that reflect a broad spectrum of races, ethnicities, and stories. Highlight how MeBe’s comprehensive representation can serve as a model for the insurance industry to adopt a more holistic and inclusive perspective on diversity, ensuring that no group feels excluded.

Exploring strategies to adopt a multifaceted approach to diversity that recognizes and celebrates intersectionality, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. This could include creating employee resource groups for underrepresented employees, implementing unbiased recruitment and promotion practices, and fostering an inclusive company culture that encourages open dialogue about diversity and inclusion.

Finally we will discuss the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in D&I initiatives within the insurance industry. Advocate for a commitment to deep, systemic change that not only aims to include but also to understand and empower every individual, drawing inspiration from MeBe’s mission to foster a more inclusive society through the power of play.

This is an episode that will demostrate how real inclusion can empower individuals, and improve workplace culture, and engagement from employees in your business.
