Quick dispatches from the third round of workshops at #GovConf25 👇👇

Text post reads: For Claris D'cruz, EDI and governance consultant and trainer, "The whole point about EDI is that diverse and inclusive teams and organisations are a better whole...and diverse and inclusive organisations outperform those that aren't. "So why is that some organisations are against EDI? Why is that some that jumped in are now rolling back? Why is it that some are forging ahead? ...We need to start by accepting and understanding that every organisation is at a different point in its EDI journey. "More importantly, everyone involved in an organisation may be at a different point in their EDI journey. You really need to start by understanding that and meeting people where they are."

🟢 What does organisational diversity look like? And why isn't there a standard approach to EDI?

"This was not accidental," says @alicjazalesinska.bsky.social. "Inequality is entrenched in the housing system".

But, "if inequality is such an intrinsic part of housing...then it should also be part of solutions."
