Welcome to The Work Couch, RPC's recently launched podcast that covers everything employment.

In our second episode, we lift the lid on how the cost of living crisis is affecting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB); the red flags employers should look out for; and the practical steps organisations can take to help alleviate the impact of the economic crisis for their workforce.

Ellie Gelder talks to partner, and recently named WIPL Ally of the Year 2023, Kelly Thomson about:

• The unique, and often hidden, financial challenges faced by different communities, including people with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ community;
• Spotting the signs of financial hardship that might be affecting a person's ability to work effectively or their mental wellbeing, and red flags to watch out for;
• Intersectional challenges to bear in mind;
• Practical steps businesses can take to support affected employees; and
• How the cost of living crisis is a key opportunity to ensure DEIB is baked into your organisation's DNA.
