The Embrace Difference Council’s Inclusion Workstream focuses on creating opportunities to engage the drinks community on key topics regarding inclusion through a series of events featuring engaging and inspiring guest speakers.
Led by James Kelly from Coles Liquor, the purpose of the Insights Workstream is to address key issues such as cultural diversity, a multigenerational workforce, and disability in a range of event styles including:
- Face-to-face events
- Panel groups or keynote speakers
- Online sessions
- External events occurring in the wider community e.g. cultural celebration days, R U OK Day
“As a drinks industry, we have the ability to drive inclusive behaviour, not only within our respective businesses, but to the wider community. Across the industry we have seen great progression across mental health, cultural diversity and supporting a multi-generational workforce; however, there is a continued opportunity to progress initiatives to support further.”
