Authenticity at work

Authenticity helps to build an inclusive workplace culture where genuine connections can thrive and diversity is celebrated, helping everyone to feel seen, heard, and valued.

On these pages professionals from a range of backgrounds share their lived experience and answer your questions about equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace. They reflect on what positive practice looks and feels like, as well as any challenges they’ve faced and how they’ve navigated them.

The diverse stories and advice that came from all these individuals gave me so much insight into what EDI can and should look like in the workplace. But also, how I could navigate potential challenges in a professional and informed way. I believe that these resources are an amazing tool that can benefit all students
