Team engagement, recruitment, and allyship

Did you know ethnically diverse staff face challenges daily and may be less likely to let their voices be heard?

Suki Xiao, former Agile Coach and people leader in Xero, and now Career and Leadership Coach for women of colour, will talk through the challenges she and other ethnically diverse staff face.

She’ll also discuss what it means to have a truly inclusive workplace where everyone is valued for who they are, and give us some starting points for diversity, equity and inclusion.

This event welcomes anyone who wants to understand, support and be an ally to their ethnically diverse colleagues.
