Organisations are investing heavily in ‘unconscious bias’ workshops and ensuring in-company support for their minority staff members. But is this enough? Is this really how to be truly inclusive? This talk aims to highlight that there is so much more we can all do to shape the workforces of the future and how what is happening now could actually serve to perpetuate the problem of discrimination. Through candid and personal insights as well as her extensive professional experience, Jackie shares her thoughts on how to truly make a difference to the workforce of both today and, perhaps more importantly, tomorrow. I’m a country girl at heart, loving nothing more than spending time in the peaceful outdoors with my wife and our cockapoo Barnaby. I’m finally content with who I am and it’s taken me a lifetime to say that. I’ve tried my hand at most things over the years; I’m a purple belt kick boxer, have abseiled in the dark, recorded a CD and even appeared (and failed dismally) on the TV show Blockbusters.
