Walking the Talk: why diversity is about more than just tick boxes

In this episode of the EG REWIRE podcast we speak to half of the senior executive team of community shopping centre investor Ellandi - the female half.

The company is taking diversity and inclusion seriously. It believes that without a diverse and inclusive team - that one that isn't just gender diverse - it cannot deliver the best in class service it wants to deliver to its customers. The shopping centres it manages operate in diverse communities and as such, the team has to fully understand what makes those communities tick.

In this podcast we talk about how diversity is more than just gender, take a look at how disability plays a big role in the D&I agenda, and how communication, understanding and perhaps just being a little bit nicer (trite as it may sound), is key in creating a more balanced built environment.
