Weathering the storm: diversity and inclusion in the TMT sector during the pandemic era

from TMT Talk · host Baker McKenzie

COVID-19 has caused global financial challenges and has forced the majority of the world to work remotely, changing what businesses need to consider when it comes to creating an inclusive and equitable work environment, especially in work environments mostly facilitated by technology. In this episode of TMT Talk, we hear Adrian Lawrence, Anna Brown, and Susan Eandi share their insights on diversity and inclusion around areas uniquely shaped by the pandemic. Our experts discuss the parallels between the state of D&I during the Pandemic Era and the Great Recession in 2008, key diversity issues that are top of mind for the tech industry, and what D&I strategies can be employed to ensure that workplaces remain inclusive.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
