The new world of work marks the start of a new chapter for diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives.

The narrative of the individual has been the dominant voice in our culture since the birth of the Enlightenment (“I think, therefore I am.”) Each person was raised to be individual, autonomous, self-reliant, and high achieving. It has been a glorious age of the individual – celebrating our break from the clutches of the monarchy to individual freedom and creative expression that resulted in ground-breaking achievements in science, medicine, technology, and education.
Part 2 of this series with Jonathan Bond (HR Director & Learning at Pinsent Masons), in partnership with PeopleSmart, looks at how you can build a culture of coaching throughout the business.
