What I would say to you...
For the automotive sector to thrive, we need to ensure that current members of the workforce, as well as new talent, have a safe and welcoming professional environment which they feel proud to be a part of.
That’s why we’re launching a new campaign, called ‘What I Would Say To You.’
This campaign allows members of the automotive community to anonymously share their lived experience about what they wish they could say to their colleagues, managers and employers, without any bias, to ensure they remain feeling like the sector is a safe and welcoming place for them to work.
These anecdotal case studies will allow all of us to listen and learn. It will also support us in identifying positive trends as well as areas that the sector will need to address further to ensure all talent, regardless of sexuality, gender, race, disability, religion or ethnicity feels safe and proud to be a part of.
All submissions will be completely anonymous and we will not require any further details than the ones you have already provided as part of your experience.
