Podcast Live: This Isn’t Working – are women to blame for ‘woke’ workplaces?

Saturday 17 October, 13:45—14:30, Harvey Goodwin Suite, Church HouseLunchtime Bites

In association with:

This Isn’t Working investigates what is wrong with today’s workplace culture, through interviews with HR directors and special guests such as Helen Joyce, Eric Kaufmann, Brendan O’Neill, Pamela Dow and Alex Edmans. Host Tanya de Grunwald explores how good intentions and bad ideas have created legal, commercial and reputational risk for organisations, and now threaten their future.

For this special live recording, Joanna Williams – author of How Woke Won – joins Tanya to assess whether women might be to blame for ‘woke’ workplaces. Female employees are often the most vocal champions of extreme workplace ‘inclusion’ – but how much power have they really held? Do we risk letting men off the hook, for allowing bad ideas to infect organisations? And are we in danger of erasing the vital role played by all the women who have risked everything to push back on ‘woke’ at work?
