Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

We don’t lead with equity, but we don’t ignore it

“it’s not that I don’t talk about equity. I do, I do it a lot. But I lead with Inclusion.”

It’s useful to think of equity in terms of organisational justice

“When I think of equity, I think of fairness. When I think of fairness in the workplace, I think of organisational justice”

I like to think of procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice.

“ When I think of organisational justice. I think of 3 things: Procedural Justice, Distributive Justice and Interactional Justice”
