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

LISTEN: 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 provide to its customers.

The shopping centres it manages (including White River Place in St Austell, pictured) operate in diverse communities and, as such, the team has to fully understand what makes those communities tick.

In this podcast, we discuss how diversity is about more than just gender, take a look at how disability plays a big role in the D&I agenda, and consider 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.

Listen in to hear from:

  • Alysoun Stewart – chief operating officer
  • Julie Pears – head of future places
  • Stephanie Brew – head of finance
  • Isabelle Hease – head of research and analytics
  • Ruth Moorhouse – asset manager
