Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

Hidden Promises At Work

I explain how we make promises in the work place that are not always explicit:

“Whether you know it or not, you and your employer have made a number promises to each other. I’m not talking about your employment contract. I’m talking about the other promises, the promises that aren’t always written down; sometimes they’re invisible, informal or implicit”

Psychological Contracts

I introduce psychological contracts as a useful way to think about diversity Promises

“For our purposes I want you to think about a Psychological contract as a set of ‘promises’, ‘expectations’ and obligations that are exchanged within in an employment relationship”

The True Diversity Promise

I explain how the explicit Diversity Promise may be different to the hidden Diversity Promise:

“if you pay attention to the invisible, informal and implicit promises,

the true psychological contract that you’ve entered into to will become clear”
