Darshana Parekh: DEI as a practice not a policy

In this episode, your host Emma Coxhead is joined by Darshana Parekh, Inclusion Consultant & Legal Counsel in Australia. We take a comprehensive look at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as more than just a buzzword or policy, but as a multifaceted concept and practice that is something we each need to develop and continue to refine. Darshana explores the importance of setting boundaries as employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance and foster inclusivity. Darshana shares her own experience as a woman and mother in the legal field and why she is passionate about educating individuals and organisations about DEI. We discuss the significance of embracing diversity in work styles and supporting parents as they return to work, highlighting the different arrangements available to accommodate their needs.
