Inclusion Isn’t Politics, It’s Performance with Koray Camgöz

In the last year there has been a growing backlash against DEI. As a result of political narratives and media framing, and as the language around DEI shifts, there is a risk that leaders are distracted from the real business value of inclusion. In this episode of Just Curious..., hosts George Blizzard and Nicky Regazzoni are joined by Koray Camgöz, CEO of the Taylor Bennett Foundation, to explore the evolving conversation around diversity, inclusion and business performance in the communications industry.Koray reflects on why leading the Taylor Bennett Foundation was a natural next step in his career, outlining his ambition to help organisations build more inclusive and equitable workplace cultures. Drawing on his experience across agencies, industry bodies and global communications roles, he makes a clear case that inclusion is not a political issue but a commercial one, pointing to evidence that diverse teams deliver stronger decision-making, creativity and financial performance.We also talk about why some organisations are rebranding their initiatives, and the importance of being thoughtful and consistent in how inclusion is communicated internally and externally. Koray looks ahead to emerging challenges, including the impact of AI on bias, junior talent development and access to opportunity. And he has a clear call to action for leaders: start somewhere, be transparent, and commit to meaningful, consistent progress that builds trust over time.Find The PR Network online at www.thepr.networkLinkedIn: @theprnetworkInstagram: @prnetworkConnect with Nicky Regazzoni on LinkedInConnect with George Blizzard on LinkedIn
