Diverse Talk Matters

In this episode our Director Natasha Broomfield-Reid sits down with Cherron Inko-Tariah to delve into the dynamic world of staff networks. Cherron, an expert in the field and author of a definitive book on the subject, takes us on her journey of empowering organisations to run effective networks.

Together, they unravel the common challenges faced by networks, from losing their way to struggling with senior management support. Cherron passionately advocates for networks to articulate their value proposition and for leaders to hone their skills, all while stressing the importance of financial backing and senior leadership endorsement.

In this enlightening conversation, Cherron and Tasha underscore the pivotal role networks play in organisational dynamics. They explore strategies for effective management, including clear communication, upward management, and fostering collaboration through cross-networking. Moreover, they champion the role of allies in creating inclusive environments and share insights on launching and revitalising networks.

Tune in as they unveil the concept of Networks Day, an annual celebration and catalyst for network innovation. Whether you're looking to kickstart a network or breathe new life into an existing one, Cherron's expert advice and Tasha's probing questions offer a roadmap for success.
