In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast, I'm joined by Sheree Atcheson, Group Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion at Valtech, to discuss why diversity and inclusion don't happen in the workplace. Listed as one of the UK's Top Most Influential Women in Tech & an international multi-award winner for her services to Diversity & Inclusion in industry, Sheree is a Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leader, currently working at Valtech; Advisory Board Member, Women Who Code; Contributor, Forbes. She is the Author of "Demanding More" (with Kogan Page Publishing) - a book which aims to teach readers about how deliberate exclusion has been in systems and society, so we can be purposefully and deliberately inclusive moving forward.
