Why is diversity and inclusion good for business?

Overcoming the bamboo ceiling
The "bamboo ceiling" is a metaphor used to describe the barriers that prevent Asian Australians from reaching senior leadership positions, even when they are highly qualified and experienced.
William Lye OAM Kings Counsel is one of Australia’s pre-eminent barristers. He joins Alison Choy Flannigan for a fireside chat about his personal journey in breaking beyond the bamboo ceiling.
Why are cultural inclusion conversations important?
From the dichotomy of feeling invisible but hyper visible at the same time, code switching and answering questions such as ‘where do you come from’ and ‘how do you say your name?’: Sumith Perera and Seun Idowu, members of our Cultural Inclusion Committee, discuss why cultural inclusion is important to them, share their personal experiences, and outline why diverse representation in the legal industry and business is so important.
