Research Launch: Class Inclusion at Work

At this event, we launched landmark research that shows how class can be a significant barrier across all aspects of an employee’s life, including recruitment, networking, promotion, and access to career development.

Sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, DCA’s research team presented highlights from the report and the  expert guest panel followed with an in-depth discussion about the new research and the practical steps that employers can take to build class inclusion at work, including:

  • how classism presents at work  
  • why organisations need to prioritise class inclusion  
  • what organisational barriers create class exclusive workplaces
  • what actions organisations can take to create class diverse and inclusive workplaces.

We heard from: 

  • Stephen Hosie (he/him), Managing Director and Partner, Boston Consulting Group 

  • Brooke Massender (she/her), Global Head of Pro Bono, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer

  • Lisa Fowkes (she/her), Director Employment Initiatives, Social Ventures Australia

  • Professor Hari Bapuji (he/him), Professor in Management, Department of Management and Marketing, Melbourne University.
