Under the Rug at Work launched in January 2023 with the aim of bringing light to topics and issues that are swept under the rug. To see real change we have to talk about these things instead of ignoring them in the hope that they’ll go away…
We had 21 incredible guests who shared their knowledge, insights and experience.
