The Vital Role of Diversity and Inclusion Speakers at Corporate Events

As companies work to build workplaces where everyone feels welcome and valued, they need to include diversity and inclusion speakers at their events more than ever. In the UK, speaker bureaus help businesses find skilled professionals who can teach, motivate, and bring about real change.

Diversity means seeing, respecting, and appreciating what makes each person unique. This can include gender, race, age, disability sexual orientation, or cultural background. When companies embrace diversity, they gain from many different viewpoints, life experiences, and abilities. Inclusion, in contrast, ensures that all workers feel welcome, respected, and able to take part and add value.

Corporate events often back up the way things are now, with the same types of people speaking. This doesn't just keep biases going, but also doesn't click with today's mixed workforce and customer base. Bringing in D&I speakers shakes this up making people rethink what they know and starting key talks.

"Speakers from different backgrounds add a lot to company events," says Jane, who runs The Right Address, a top UK speaker bureau. "They tell moving personal stories share eye-opening ideas, and give hands-on tips that can really change how people think and act. This is key to building fairer better-performing companies."

In the same vein, Paralympian and adventurer Karen Darke moves audiences with her story of bouncing back and staying strong in the face of life-altering hardship. By offering her unique take as a woman with a physical disability, she helps companies build a culture that's open and welcoming to all.

Bringing D&I speakers to company events has many upsides. They help people understand and become more aware of diversity issues. They also give practical ways to make workplaces fairer and more welcoming. This can include tips to reduce hidden biases, ways to be a better ally, or stories about what marginalized groups go through.

Just as important, D&I speakers act as strong examples. They show employees from different backgrounds that they can do great things too. This kind of representation counts. It helps break down old ideas about what's possible and opens up new chances for people.

"Seeing yourself represented matters," says Jane. "When folks spot someone who resembles them or shares a similar background, it can change their life. It makes them think they can make it too, which shapes their career dreams and self-belief."

UK companies looking to tap into the strength of D&I speakers can benefit from teaming up with a trusted UK speaker agency. These experts have wide-reaching connections and thorough screening methods making sure businesses link up with speakers who excel at communicating, know their stuff inside out, and match their core beliefs.

"The best speaker bureaus spend time to get what your event aims to do and how diverse you want it to be," Jane points out. "They can then pick speakers that click with your crowd and give your inclusion plans a real boost in a genuine powerful way."

As companies keep changing, the need for diversity and inclusion is clearer than ever. By bringing in D&I speakers to their events, UK firms have a chance to make big changes, help people feel they belong, and get the most from their teams. It's a smart move that will pay off for a long time to come.

This starts with defining the requirements of your organisation. Do you want solutions to unconscious bias, cultural competency and inclusive leadership? Having distinct goals allows the agency to pair you with a speaker accordingly. Once your needs have been substantiated, the agency will serve you a list of potential candidates. This usually involves in-depth profiles, reels of previous events, and testimonials from past customers This kind of information is vital for making an educated decision.

This type of support means you get time to do other things event-wise. Agencies also have back-up plans for any last minute dilemmas, alleviating stress.

After the event, the agency will typically ask for feedback on how well the speaker did and on how the overall event went. This feedback loop is essential for the improvement process, and guarantees that the future involvement will be more successful. As much as in live events, most of diversity and the inclusion speakers provide virtual sessions, workshops, and consulting services.

Native Speakerism has effects that are far-reaching , influencing our interactions, opportunities, and perceptions in reflective ways. It doesn’t sound really nice when there are cases where people, born and grew up in a country and even have its passport, still struggle with their own language. Surprisingly, despite these confusing situations, there are cases of strong biases favoring native speakers on social media.

Atla live action spoilers

Atla's prop team is SO funny because on one side, it feels like they put a lot of attention to Zuko's room and belongings and so on (i really liked the pan down of his desk), hell, they even added a solo eye drawing to one of his journal pages because that's SUCH an artist thing to do. Artists' sketchbooks are FULL of random solo eye drawings.

But. On The Other Hand... they couldn't bother to hire a native speaker or even just a fluent speaker (tho a native one is always preferrable, especially for projects like these which are supposed to be all about inclusion and diversity) to write or even dictate the written chinese...

Cause it's not just that Zuko has bad handwriting (which could even fit the character tbh!), it's literally the fact that the chinese doesn't make sense/is weirdly phrased and it's a mix of traditional/classic chinese and modern chinese...

Yes. I'm still stuck here but as a linguistics/languages geek who's learning chinese... this was really dissapointing to me😭 (altho kinda funny bc of all the time i spent trying to translate it and thinking it was too hard because "oh it's probably some classic, super formal and pretty way of writing that is too advanced for me"💀)

[letteredlettered]

What an interesting topic. I’ve heard that a large percentage of employees cite their bosses as the reason they leave their jobs. What are some ways companies try to mitigate this?

They don't.

I can really only answer for my company, which cared about retention (of employees) a lot. Many companies do, because it costs much less to recruit/onboard/train as little as possible, and because it can be hard to get the work done without adequate staffing. I'd add that my company had one area in which staffing was a nation-wide crisis; also my company was in the public sector and was in the press a lot, which mean they cared about their image.

They still didn't do that much to ensure that people had good bosses. That has less to do with this company and more to do with the structure of business in capitalist society. This is a big reason HR is never going to be that helpful unless you've got a tiny company that, completely by luck, has mostly good folks.

A company isn't going to take a generalized point about folks leaving their job because they don't like their bosses as fact. Companies feel they are too diverse and the financial risk is too great to pour money into something if they don't have hard data, so the first step to retention is getting data. You would think exit interviews would be really informative, but those require a lot of time which equals staff which equals money. Some employers do them but mine would only do one if you asked, and then they did nothing with the info. This is because the company's mentality was "well, if you're leaving you're probably really dissatisfied and we don't want to hear about that." I know this makes no sense. But in general, not just in the business but in this society (formed by capitalism), the idea seems to be if you're dissatisfied it's your fault. Meanwhile the company is interested in data about why people stay; they figure if folks are satisfied, that's the company's fault and they want to keep doing the same so they can retain employees.

Our company had a huge employee satisfaction survey they did every year that included questions about employee opinions about the company, their colleagues, and their bosses. You get emails to remind you to take it and if you can't get time in the workday, bosses are supposed to allow time for it. Some problems with that are you still have to remember to take it; if you don't have time you have to ask a boss you might not like to get that time; some folks at my company literally had jobs that literally are life or death so it can be hard to take time to take a survey; the survey is only in English; the survey is only in the computer; the reminders are only in email. So you have to be a moderately good English speaker who regularly checks email and knows how to use a computer and gets regular access to a computer for the company to get your data about your satisfaction. As you can imagine, our most vulnerable employees often get missed.

If the survey showed that folks were really dissatisfied with a particular boss, that boss got put into a series of trainings. Training is good, but US businesses (and plenty of employees themselves) seemed to have latched onto the idea that training is the be-all, end-all of improvement. Many of us saw this in response to the discussions about EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusion) that came about in 2020; business promised to be anti-racist and had some EDI seminars to prove it, and that was all. Why is it like this? What is really needed to make bosses better bosses? And why isn't that being done?

When it comes to "why is it like this": recruiting and retaining good leaders is hard. The way someone becomes a boss in almost any organization is a) management likes them, and/or b) they were good at a job in a lower level or different department, or c) they come from the outside with a good resume and what sounds like good experience. But a lot of time, management likes people who aren't disruptive, and sometimes folks who aren't disruptive are the folks who are not thinking for themselves and not asking questions and doing everything the way they're told even when it doesn't make sense. That doesn't make a good leader. As for folks who are good at the lower level job in the hierarchy or in another department, they aren't always good at managing. It's a different skill set, but I've seen a lot of leaders and employees make this mistake. They think that that the folks who are great at the job should be promoted, and honestly that really doesn't make sense. And last but not least, folks who get hired from the outside are a complete crapshoot, because experience with leadership does not necessarily a good leader make.

As for what is needed to make bosses better bosses, imo what you would really need is someone embedded within the department who is managed by the boss and is doing the same work as the other employees, but also has the training and experience to evaluate what the boss is doing well and isn't doing well, and then also has the authority and buy-in to work with the boss so that the boss can shadow and learn the leadership skills they need. Then, if the boss can't improve, there would need to be the will within the org to fire or demote that boss, and often that will doesn't exist because recruiting bosses is so hard and the training is usually monumental.

Side note, what I'm describing is what consultants should do and normally don't. Consultants come in and ask a lot of questions and do focus groups and maybe some observations, but they are not in there doing the work understanding what it is like to live in this world, and without that I frankly find a lot of the work they do useless. That said, consultants are almost always hired to identify inefficiencies; they're not really there to make it a more satisfying job. Imo, the greatest efficiency is a satisfied worker, but it is hard to get the data to point that way, and again, companies only want data, and again, your dissatisfaction is your own fault.

Another side note, this is why unions are so great. Union stewards are folks who work for the company but can act as a union representative. This means they're embedded in the department and doing the work everyone does, but they can also at times step outside that role and carry the authority of an outside entity that does have some power to use against the employer. This is why all employees should have a union.

So, why aren't companies doing this? As you can imagine, hiring the ambassador to embed within a department, training them, paying them for their time--all of these are just too cost prohibitive to justify when they only thing you're getting out of it is employee satisfaction. It is also possible to improve employee satisfaction by paying employees more, which is in fact why I stayed in this job I hated as long as I did. I was getting paid so much that it just did not make sense to walk away without a firm plan in place. In the end, paying employees more costs less than ensuring they have a good boss.

I have lots more to say about this, but I've said a lot already, so if anyone has follow up questions, feel free to send more asks.

The Power of Diverse Voices: Finding the Perfect DEI Speaker for Your UK Event (and Avoiding the Event Planning Headache!)

Just the other day, I was chatting with a colleague who attended a conference with the most inspiring speaker on unconscious bias. They said it completely changed their perspective on how everyday interactions can impact colleagues from different backgrounds. It got me thinking – finding the right speaker can truly make a difference, especially when it comes to diversity and inclusion (DEI).

Let's be honest, planning an event can be a juggling act – finding the venue, sorting out catering, and let's not forget, securing the perfect speaker. But when it comes to diversity and inclusion speakers, the search can feel even more daunting. There are so many amazing voices out there, how do you choose the right one to elevate your event and contribute to your company's overall DEI efforts?

Why a UK Event Speaker Agency Can Be Your DEI Hero

Imagine this – you've organised an event all about promoting inclusivity, but you're struggling to find a diverse range of speakers. That's where event speaker agencies come to the rescue!

These agencies specialise in connecting event planners with a curated selection of speakers on a variety of topics, including DEI. They have access to a vast pool of talented speakers, saving you the time and effort of scouring the internet. Plus, they can act as your personal DEI matchmaker, using their expertise to recommend speakers who perfectly align with your event's theme, target audience, and budget.

Benefits of Using a UK Event Speaker Agency:

Extensive Network: Agencies tap into a vast pool of talented DEI speakers, saving you hours of research.

Tailored Recommendations: Share your event's goals and audience – the agency will find a speaker who resonates with them.

Logistics Made Easy: From fees to travel, agencies handle the nitty-gritty aspects of booking a speaker, freeing you to focus on the bigger picture.

Finding the Perfect Fit: Top Tips for Booking a DEI Speaker

So, you've decided to enlist the help of a UK event speaker agency. But with so many options, how do you choose the right one? Look for an agency with a proven track record of placing DEI speakers at events. Their website should showcase their speaker portfolio and provide clear information about their services.

Here's how to ensure a smooth speaker booking process:

Clarity is Key: The more information you provide about your event's goals and target audience, the better the agency can assist you.

Embrace Flexibility: Be open to considering speakers outside your initial criteria. The agency might introduce you to someone with a unique perspective that could enhance your event.

Communication is King: Maintain clear communication with the agency throughout the process. Don't hesitate to ask questions or voice any concerns.

The Power of Diverse Voices: Why DEI Speakers Matter

In our work with clients, we often see the positive impact that strong DEI initiatives can have on a company's brand image and employee morale. DEI speakers can be a powerful tool to help companies take their DEI efforts to the next level.

Personally, I believe that DEI goes beyond policies and procedures. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and heard. And DEI speakers play a crucial role in sparking those important conversations, inspiring audiences to think differently, and fostering a more inclusive workplace culture.

Ready to Take Action?

Now that you understand the power of DEI speakers and the role event speaker agencies play, it's time to take action. Research UK event speaker agencies specialising in DEI speakers and explore the talent they represent. With the right speaker on board, your next event can be a springboard for fostering a more inclusive and successful organisation. Remember, a diverse and inclusive workplace starts with open conversations and a willingness to learn from different perspectives. Let's make those conversations happen!

So quick post since I just woke up- but this is a psa to everyone really (but especially to people outside Wales) to be careful about how you express support for Welsh language preservation. I've censored the name of the reblogger here (this is a screenshot of a reblog of my post about the petition to use only Ynys Môn for the island instead of Anglesey) and I will say, while I (and many others in Wales) appreciate the support from overseas, its important not to accidentally use white nationalist slogans in doing so!

No animosity directed at the commenter, I feel like it was an innocent mistake. But "Keep Wales Welsh" is a white nationalist slogan and we don't do that here.

I can see where the mistake has happened. In English there are no separate words for Welsh (language) and Welsh (person) while there is in Welsh- 'Cymreig' means Welsh in the sense of being of Wales (e.g. 'llaeth Cymreig' is Welsh milk), while 'Cymraeg' means Welsh in the sense of the Welsh language (e.g. 'Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg?' means do you speak Welsh?). The commenter probably intended to mean 'Keep Wales Welsh' in the sense of 'Keep Wales Welsh language'. However, white nationalists use that slogan to mean 'Keep Wales ethnically* Welsh'. Which is a big nono around here and on this blog. We don't do that here.

[* There is no such thing as ethnically Welsh either, but it's a line trotted out by white nationalists in Wales to justify their ethnonationalism.]

There are many non-white Welsh people and also many non-white Welsh speakers. Being Welsh and the ability to speak Welsh are not in any way connected to race or ethnicity. Welsh nationalism ≠ white nationalism - there's no justification for using racist, white nationalist arguments to secure Welsh independence. An independent Wales should be a diverse independent Wales - an independent Wales inclusive of all races, nationalities, disabilities, sexualities and genders.
