How to Make Inclusion Part of the Business, Not Just the Brand
In this episode of the All Inclusive Podcast, I’m joined by Hannah Awonuga, a culture transformation strategist, a multi award-winning Culture, Talent and Inclusion expert and former Global DEI Director at Barclays.
We unpack what it really takes to move inclusion beyond HR, beyond internal comms, and beyond the brand — into the heart of business strategy.
Hannah shares her powerful “Three C’s” framework and explains why so many inclusion efforts fall flat when they’re siloed or surface-level.
This episode is essential listening for HR, DEI, and business leaders serious about building inclusive workplaces that last.
