Promotion and progression are some of the most powerful levers leaders have to shape culture, belonging, and opportunity. Yet in many organisations, they are also where inclusion quietly breaks down.

In this episode of Inclusive Leadership, I explore what equity in promotions and progression really means, why traditional systems often disadvantage underrepresented talent, and how senior leaders can create fairer, more transparent pathways to progression.

This episode is for leaders who want to move beyond good intentions and take practical action to embed equity into their leadership and decision-making.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why equality is not enough when it comes toprogression.

✅How informal systems reinforce bias andexclusion.

✅ The difference between mentoring and sponsorship.

✅ How leaders can assess potential more fairly.

✅ Practical actions to improve equity in promotiondecisions.
