Salma discusses her personal experience of race, at home, work and as a CHRO, sharing strategies to create belonging including spaces for conversation and helping all colleagues recognise that everyone is responsible for organisational culture.
Reflecting on changes driven by the pandemic, Salma raises the trend of a ‘boomerang employee’ and shares new themes in creating a people plan and employee engagement. I loved Salma’s example of setting work commitments rather than work objectives.
Salma encourages us to use simple language to support honest and safe conversations – with straight forward communication at the heart of all work that HR is leading.
