Workplace diversity and inclusion is an increasing area of focus for businesses large and small. From bringing in a broader range of perspectives to understanding your clients or customers better, the benefits of a diverse workforce are huge.

But if itā€™s so beneficial, why do many organisations struggle with inclusive recruitment? Why is it that the employment rate for disabled people is 29 percentage points below the non-disabled rate? And why is the percentage of unemployed people from Black and Minority Ethnic groups twice that of the White British population?

On todayā€™s episode of Catch22Minutes, we welcome Antonia Tony-Fadipe, Inclusive Hiring Lead at The Body Shop UK & Global, and Vanessa Johnson-Burgess, Chief Executive of Inclusive Recruitment. Youā€™ll also hear from Hayley Campbell who received support from Catch22ā€™s Inspiring Families Programme when she was facing her own barriers to employment

Catch22Minutes Podcast

In each episode of Catch22Minutes, we delve into some of todayā€™s major social challenges, sharing case studies and inviting frontline experts, industry leaders and young people to speak ā€“ all in pursuit of reforming public services.

For the first series, hosted by Catch22ā€™s Director of Communications Melissa Milner, we are focussing on youth employment.

We discuss how society can better prepare young people for todayā€™s job market, and what businesses and government can do to open up future opportunities.
