This Episode: `Total Inclusion – with William T Rolack`

This week, Lucinda is joined by VP of Diversity and Inclusion at Workforce Logiq, William T Rolack, for a timely discussion centring around inclusion – the strategies that William himself has devised throughout his incredible career that have allowed him to bring a richness in diversity to not just the internal workings of an organisation, but also in dealing with external clients.

Key Takeaways

Talent and diversity intersect is a case of answering the age old question: how do we know, as talent executives, that we are doing a good job?
Indeed, inclusion markers are a journey to be best in class, best in industry, to be the best at representing a community and environment.
We must also look at the ways in which we show up as leaders in the business. Additionally, inclusive leadership is not just about treating people the way we want to be treated, it’s about treating people they way they want to be treated.
Certainly, we must find ways of invigorating innovation through our people or putting into place strategies that will give uplift and value optimisation.
