Inclusive Communications: Making Sure Your Message Reaches People - Mo Kanjilal

Did you know that 75% of communications are misinterpreted? That’s not only frustrating for people, it leads to wasted time. By ensuring our communications are accessible, engaging, and tailored to a diverse audience from the outset, we can make a more meaningful impact. We'll discuss how understanding our own communication styles and considering the diverse needs of others—such as those who rely on sign language, subtitles, or screen readers—can enhance team cohesion, strengthen relationships, and build a positive reputation. Inclusive communication is not just about clarity; it's about making people feel understood and valued. Inclusive communication not only helps people feel included and understood but also drives more effective and impactful interactions.

From niche to newsworthy: PR tips for diverse and inclusive businesses

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) aren't just buzzwords—they're essential for innovation and business growth. In today's competitive landscape, companies that embrace D&I benefit from diverse perspectives, which foster creativity and drive success. However, many organisations struggle to authentically communicate their D&I efforts, risking accusations of tokenism and damaging their reputation. To avoid these pitfalls, it's crucial to back up claims with genuine actions and measurable outcomes. Effective PR strategies, including thought leadership and media training, can help businesses stand out and demonstrate their commitment to a truly inclusive workplace.
