Inclusion on Purpose with Ruchika Tulshyan

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. We had the honor of speaking with Ruchika Tulshyan about her expertise on promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Not only is Ruchika an award-winning inclusion strategist and speaker, but she is also the CEO and founder of Candour, which works with organizations to create diverse teams and inclusive cultures. A former business journalist, she has reported from four countries and writes regularly on inclusive leadership for the Harvard Business Review. She was named to the Thinkers50 list, a global ranking described by the Financial Times as “the Oscars of management thinking.”   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  workplace leaders who are looking to promote an equitable workplace environment and foster a culture of diversity & inclusion.   TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Many people carry good intentions to create diverse and inclusive workplaces, so why do so many workers still feel excluded? By exploring the intersectionality of our identities, we can begin to see how gender, race, sexuality, and other aspects of identity should be considered holistically for individuals in the workplace. By implementing best workplace practices and actively practicing awareness, we can grow organizations purposefully to build diversity and inclusion.    WHAT I LOVE MOST… Ruchika reminds us to consider our own privileges and how our experiences might be different from someone else’s experience. She also reminds us that it’s okay to make mistakes in diversity practices, so long as we learn from them and do better next time.   Running time: 31:23 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Ruchika online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Ruchika’s Book: Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work
