The next episode of the Charity People Podcast is LIVE 🚨 Host Glen Manners caught up with organisational psychologist Grace Mansah-Owusu, PhD from Oxford HR | B Corp Certified. They spoke about how EDI has evolved over the last 4 years and posed the question – Is it still as much of a priority for the NFP sector? Our aim for this episode is to ensure EDI isn’t forgotten. By having the conversation, we can keep the narrative front and centre for our sector and beyond. We also share our thoughts on inclusive recruitment and the many benefits (and push back) for sharing interview questions in advance. Thank you for having this important conversation with us, Grace.
