New episode: HR Most Influential Podcast 4.4: Inclusion is the answer to everything

Mutuma was ranked 2024's #5 HR Most Influential thinker

Inclusion – and its potential to help organisations address strategic HR issues like productivity, retention and engagement – is the focus of the latest HR Most Influential Podcast episode, which went live on 31 March.

The episode's featured guest is Aggie Yemurai Mutuma, CEO and lead consulting director of the consultancy Mahogany Inclusion Partners. She ranked fifth on our HR Most Influential thinkers list in 2024. A trusted advisor to the CIPD on racial equity and inclusion, she is a passionate advocate for inclusion as a vital part of business and wider life.

Examining the idea that inclusion is the 'answer to everything', Mutuma and our podcast host Charissa King, HR magazine's editor, discuss the value of inclusivity as a lens for strategic HR work, how HR leaders can best approach inclusion when faced with reluctance or difference, and Mutuma's own personal route into the profession.

The podcast also addresses:

  • Inclusion as a requirement for productivity
  • Whether the 'perfectly inclusive' organisation exists, and
  • The key business imperatives for a joined-up inclusion strategy.
