Episode 94: Breaking the Caste - Creating Inclusive Workplaces

Episode 94: Breaking the Caste - Creating Inclusive Workplaces

Author: And Evolve Ltd April 10, 2024 Duration: 13:03
What drives discrimination? If the colour of someone's skin is the only reason, how did the holocaust happen with Nazi Germany creating a 'Master race'? What then do we make of the caste system in India, where some people born into castes are considered untouchable, where their very touch could pollute another? Is race a version of a systemic caste system where humanity has artificially created superior groups and inferior groups, putting in place structures to perpetuate this very notion? Despite all the efforts by organisations to create more inclusive workplaces through ED&B initiatives, could this be the reason we haven't seen an impact? Join Amrit as he explores this topic, driven by the film 'Origins', highlighting the book 'Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents', in this week's podcast.

At the heart of every successful company are the people who show up every day, and Engaging People, Powering Companies-The Leadership Podcast digs into the human dynamics that make organizations thrive. Hosted by And Evolve Ltd, these conversations move beyond abstract theory to examine the real, often messy, work of building great workplace cultures and effective leaders. You’ll hear practical explorations of how genuine employee engagement is fostered, why the employee experience directly impacts results, and what it takes to develop talent at every level. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone curious about the intersection of leadership, learning, and the social fabric of work-from managers seeking to improve their team's productivity to individuals invested in their own growth. Each episode considers how relationships and intentional management shape our professional environments, ultimately linking personal development to organizational health. It’s a thoughtful look at the systems and conversations that power modern companies, grounded in the belief that business is, fundamentally, a human endeavor. Tune in for perspectives that are as much about culture and self-improvement as they are about bottom lines.
