I am the founder and CEO of The Culture Practice, a global consultancy headquartered in London and New York which specializes in building cultures of equality at work.
Based on two decades of experience and research, we have built diagnostic tools, workshops, coaching and development programmes that will challenge and engage employees and leaders to build cultures of equality.
Creating a culture of equality is not a ‘nice to have’, it is a fundamental business imperative. The number one barrier to advancing diversity and inclusion is the denial of inequality at work, which is the belief that workplaces work for everyone in the same way. When employees believe workplaces work for everyone in the same way, because everyone is the same, they deny difference and different experiences of working life.
For example, a 2018 study conducted by Business in the Community found that 33% of black employees believe their ethnicity will be a barrier to their next career move, in stark contrast to just 1% of white employees. The challenge is most leaders do not know how to create cultures of equality, or what it means to lead in an inclusive way. Likewise employees do not understand what it means to practise inclusion as part of their job.
Companies cannot simply launch off-the-shelf solutions and expect results. Instead, they need to treat inclusion like any other business priority by engaging men and women to own the solution, which requires four key elements:

Companies are spending more than ever on diversity and inclusion initiatives, but they’re still failing to create environments that value difference.
