Shaping tomorrow’s industry: Embedding diversity and inclusion into everyday

In this episode of Just Covered, we meet Rachel Eason-Whale, Head of Impact and Inclusion, and Amy Potter, Senior Advice Manager, at L&C Mortgages. Both of them have spent a large part of their recent lives focusing intently on how to make the financial industry more representative, inclusive, and supportive. We discuss their career progression, including formative experiences, personal hurdles, and confidence building. And, how they’ve used these lessons to start their Journey to Management initiative that aims to encourage a wider range of employees into leadership roles. It’s a refreshing vision for the future of financial services, so be sure to listen…

• The impact of their initiatives on employee retention, innovation, and industry collaboration, as well as the pathway for continuous improvement and inclusive practices.
• How to recognise and cultivate leadership skills in the workforce, and how to value both extroverted and introverted employees.
• Building diversity and inclusion best practices right from day one and maintaining it across everyday business operations.
