In this episode of Diverse Talk Matters, hosted by Mikayla Sinead, we delve into the intricate dynamics of workplace banter. Joined by insightful guests Luise Usiskin and Paula Whelan-Cooper, we explore the definition, impact, and boundaries of banter in professional settings.
Our conversation highlights the significance of power dynamics and the experiences of marginalised groups, emphasising the need for hyper-awareness and a keen understanding of social cues to ensure inclusivity.
We dissect how exclusionary tactics in banter can marginalise certain groups and discuss the pivotal role of leaders in setting an inclusive tone. This episode also examines the necessity of training programmes that help employers navigate and understand the boundaries of banter, aiming to foster a workplace culture where humour is used thoughtfully and everyone's boundaries are respected.
Tune in to understand how to use humour in a way that promotes dignity at work and ensures a comfortable and inclusive environment for all.
