The transformative power of equality, diversity and inclusion is so fundamental to our environment and society.
In the HR News on 12 April 2024, says that Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) needs to become “the norm” in organisations to escape “disappointing” government criticism that it is a waste of time.
What do you think?

This is another STEM Positive Disruptor - MIA conversation with special guest, Katy Deacon, Award-winning Chartered Electrical Engineer and Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) specialising in inclusive engineering. She is an Inclusion Advocate and Neurodiversity Champion at the IET where she chairs the EDI board, promoting and encouraging inclusive thinking within the organisation. She has Multiple Sclerosis and a wheelchair user.

Wow, what a powerful and thought provoking conversation on the importance of why an inclusive culture is fundamental to our society and what we all have to do to enable that, you have to listen to the full length of our conversation to really appreciate what she is saying (what does inclusion mean to a disabled person, etc.) and what is been done in the IET and how the IET are championing it by running an inclusive thinking campaign to understand what industry, people and society needs to recommend better solutions.

Some of my takeaways from conversation.
1.We need to treat people as individuals to get the best out of them
2. EDI can work on a employee level but what about on a product /service level, that is why we need engineers and scientists from diverse background in the design team.
3.The voice of disabled people are still not been valued or heard
4. Mindsets need to change within the industry through, sharing of knowledge (best practice), helping and collaborating with each other
