Why DEI Needs Change Management, Not Just Good Intentions

More Than A CV is proudly sponsored by Biometric Talent - https://biometrictalent.com/

In this episode of More Than A CV Podcast, Sean Allen speaks with Katie Griffiths, Senior Manager – Global DEI at Everpure.

Katie Griffiths shares her journey leading diversity, equity and inclusion. With more than 10 years in the DE&I space and a career that began in transformational change, Katie brings a unique lens to the conversation, showing how people, psychology and strategy all shape meaningful culture change. She also reflects on the power of a “squiggly” career path, the importance of curiosity, and how inclusive leadership can drive real business impact.

In this episode, Katie and Sean explore the current state of DE&I, including shifting language, changing organisational priorities, and the challenge of moving from tick-box activity to embedded, sustainable change. The conversation also dives into the intersection of DE&I and AI, from bias and ethics to the similarities in how people adopt new ideas, tools and behaviours. It’s a thoughtful, practical discussion for anyone interested in inclusion, leadership and the future of work.
