Why diversity and inclusion policies aren't enough | #Railnatter 287

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

This week I'm delighted to say that we are joined by Poggy Murray Whitham joining us to talk about moving from the technical to the human side of engineering, abuse, threats, hate - and how to overcome them by thinking about psychological safety as rigorously as we think about physical safety. Last time we spoke was in "my" tent at Rail Live, so I've been looking forward to this!   Pick up Poggy's book here: https://www.poggymurraywhitham.com/ Watch the TEDx talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUKPnUUS9oA   Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis.
