Sandvik’s Post

🎙️ I'm excited to share my recent appearance on the "Honest HR" podcast by SHRM, hosted by the insightful Monique Akanbi, SHRM-CP! A huge thank you to Monique for having me on to talk about something that's increasingly critical in our fast-evolving work landscape: the power of empathy. Technology is quickly transforming how we work, but it can't replace the human skills that matter most. In our conversation, we explore how essential soft skills like empathy are for building high-performing and innovative teams, creating safe and supportive work environments that promote well-being, and leading effectively through change. 🌟 Listen in and join the conversation by sharing your strategies for promoting empathy at work in the comments below. #HonestHR #EmpathyAtWork #WorkplaceCulture #SHRM

**Episode 35 of Why Care? will be out next week! **   In this episode, I speak to the wonderful Catherine Garrod, Founder of Compelling Culture. We explore the underlying concepts behind her book, Conscious Inclusion. Catherine and I cover a lot in our conversation, including the distinction between positive action and positive discrimination, why organisations struggle to take a stand on exclusionary behaviour, and the 'decisions' she offers In her book that guide leaders and organisations towards Inclusion. Catherine’s interest in DEI is evident in her career journey, which has spanned for over 15 years in writing, consulting, organisational development, employee engagement and culture change. She is on a mission to create a culture where people feel included, heard, and empowered, and where action is taken to drive sustainable change.   This is an insightful episode, which details her own experience of toxic masculinity, the challenges she faces when speaking the truth to those in power, and advice on what organisations can do to remain consciously inclusive. I will leave you with this preview.   #CompleteInclusion #dei #edi #podcast #inclusion #diversity #InclusiveLeadership #BeyondDiscomfort

“The problem is not the lack of diversity. The problem we are trying to solve is over-representation.” This reminds me that sometimes we need to view the problem for a different perspective to bring clarity to the solution. If you are committed to building an inclusive culture, there are some great actionable steps in Conscious Inclusion by Catherine Garrod.
