Introduction
In this episode of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast, we sit down with Tegan Dowler, a leader in workplace inclusion and culture transformation. With a background in psychology and organisational change in heavy industry and manufacturing, Tegan shares her lived experiences as one of the few women in the sector 20 years ago, and how those challenges inspired her to create real change.
We explore the journey of diversity and inclusion in traditionally male-dominated industries, the importance of respect as a foundation for excellence, and practical steps organisations can take to build inclusive cultures that drive performance, innovation, and long-term success.
