As a highly acclaimed practitioner of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Hayley Barnard enables organisations to nurture diverse and inclusive cultures and workplaces through powerful speeches which ignite intentional positive change.

With over 10 years of experience in Diversity & Inclusion, Hayley has worked with numerous FTSE100 and Fortune500 organisations across the world. Recent clients include Specsavers, Experian, HSBC, Matalan, Center Parcs, Altrad, Lidl, Deloitte, Essity, Mazars and many more.

Using charismatic warmth and humour she addresses daunting DE&I topics using real-life examples and quantified research to educate organisations on the importance of embracing inclusive practises.

Hayley turns buzz words and jargon (such as diversity, equity, inclusion and unconscious bias) into simple language which can be easily implemented and actioned in the workplace.

During her speech she may candidly discuss the macro-economics of DE&I and the impact it has on business growth, profitability and employee retention. She may tackle the topic of affinity bias and how to stop it in its tracks. She may give useful tips on how to address difficult topics such as how to speak up when ‘workplace banter’ goes too far.

After hearing Hayley speak, employees, managers and leadership teams will have an increased understanding of the small and large actions they can take to be more inclusive of all demographics, both inside and outside of their organisation.

Hayley’s keynotes compel people to take action to become more inclusive, every day.
