In today’s global organisations, creating genuine inclusion and belonging is not just a moral imperative, it is a driver of innovation, resilience and sustainable success. While many companies aspire to foster environments where everyone feels valued, few take the steps to translate commitments into daily action.

In this special episode of Spark Generation, produced as the closing conversation of Kent Inclusion Week 2025, Aswathi Mohandas from Kent’s Shadow Hub sits down with our Head of Inclusion and Belonging, Karen Blanc, to explore how Kent is turning intent into impact. Together, they reflect on the actions shaping a more inclusive culture, share personal stories that illuminate the lived experience of belonging, and invite us to hear directly from other Shadow Hub members on what belonging means to them.

This episode shines a light on the voices behind our Inclusion and Belonging strategy and reinforces the shared responsibility we all hold in making Kent a place where everyone can thrive.
