Hayley shares how Formula E is tackling gender barriers and driving inclusion in motorsport. With women holding just 3% of racing licenses, initiatives like the women’s test programme aim to level the playing field and increase female representation at the highest levels.
Over the past 18 months, Formula E has strengthened its ED&I strategy by partnering with experts and collaborating with organisations such as the 93% Club. These efforts are expanding access to motorsport careers and fostering a more inclusive talent pipeline.
Hayley also champions HR as a strategic enabler, calling for more HR leaders at the executive table - and more CEOs from HR backgrounds. Her insights challenge traditional views of HR and inspire leaders to use their influence for real, systemic change.

Our April book of the month is Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler & Cass R. Sunstein.
Instead of drastic overhauls, Nudge demonstrates how tweaking environments can lead to big improvements with minimal resistance. We chose it because for everyone in HR and leadership, it provides a powerful playbook for making change easier.
