PS I ❤️ You: Rethinking Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in HR

In this episode of the Public Sector I Heart You podcast, Manny Sandhu, Director of Leadership & OD at West Midlands Employers, is joined by Shakil Butt, experienced HR Director, author of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Explained, and lecturer in Strategic HRM at Birmingham City University. They explore the realities of equity, diversity and inclusion in public sector organisations, including where EDI sits, why many approaches fall short, and how to embed inclusion into the fabric of leadership, policy and decision-making. With honesty, practical advice and a strong call for accountability, Shak shares why performative gestures don’t deliver change, and what truly inclusive organisations must do differently. Ideal for public sector leaders, HR professionals, and anyone passionate about creating equitable workplaces.
