Last week, Garin had the opportunity to join Woosh Raza on his podcast dedicated to inspiring well-being and inclusion in the search for belonging. The focus of their conversation was on Organisation Development (OD) and its potential impact in building greater inclusion and belonging within organizations.
Organisation Development is a discipline that involves applying behavioral science principles to improve an organization’s effectiveness and well-being. By using a systemic approach to identify and solve problems, OD practitioners work to create inclusive environments where individuals feel valued and supported.
During the podcast, Garin and Woosh discussed the importance of recognising and addressing systemic barriers to inclusion, such as bias and discrimination. They also highlighted the role that OD can play in facilitating change and promoting a culture of inclusivity.
The conversation between Garin and Woosh provided valuable insights into the potential of OD to foster greater well-being and belonging within organisations.
