About this listen

 Diversity and Inclusion are on everyone's minds but it's not always easy to know where to start. In the last season of Together Equal, Diversity Made Simple we spoke to people working in Inclusion, Diversity and Equality, asking them to share their one simple tip in how to make the workplace more diverse and inclusive that anyone can easily adopt and apply.

For Season 3 we are moving towards our 'Ally Spotlight' where we will be discussing all things Allyship with some fabulous guests including Matt Skallerud, President of Pink Media, Vinny Welsby, Founder of Fierce Fatty and Theophilus Ogbhemhe, the first ever winner of the Saroj Lal award.
