With remote and hybrid work becoming the new norm, how we connect with our companies, colleagues, and office spaces is changing. But the -isms are still there… sexism, racism, and ageism. We need to adjust and adapt to today’s office landscape in ways that allow us to still tackle and deal with these issues.
Note: this webinar is part one of our three-part Annual Webinar Series; when you register, you'll receive an invitation to all three (June, July, August) sessions.

Leigh is Global Inclusion & Diversity Manager at Kantar. An advocate for allyship, empathy and understanding, she manages Kantar’s internal employee resource groups (ERGs) and their external presence in the I&D space. She has a long history of writing about diversity, equality, belonging and inclusive culture in South Africa, while launching the #FairnessFirst column on Bizcommunity in her tenure as Media and Marketing Editor in Chief and, the continent’s most-read B2B platform. She has since metamorphosed into a true ‘Jill’ of the digital trade in making a squiggly career move into the Kantar People Team, and is now happiest connecting Kantar’s ERGs to make a sustainable impact backed by data, to leave the workplace and indeed the world a better place for future generations.
