From Exclusion to Inclusion – It's Your Choice! This headline grabbed my attention recently as I was scrolling through posts on LinkedIn and I stopped to read to read the associated content. This article was written by Dean Royles, president of the Healthcare People Management Association and Cheryl Samuels, deputy director of workforce transformation at NHS England and chair of the Deputy Directors of HR Network.

I was deeply affected by the honesty and courage contained within the post. It was a call to action for colleagues in the public sector HR and OD community and asking us all to consider how we can lead by example to address racism in the workplace and positively contribute in the social movement for change.
