Is DEI dead? Not even close. DEI Will Not DIE cuts through the noise with sharp, practical insights for DEI practitioners, people leaders and changemakers. Hosted by Bree Gorman, coach, consultant and trusted voice in DEI strategy and inclusive leadership. This podcast dives into the real work behind impactful equity and inclusion. From building DEI plans that don't gather dust to leading with authenticity, this is your space to reflect, learn and lead with purpose.
Bree goes solo on perimenopause and menopause at work, starting with their own experience as a trans non-binary person seeking care in medical settings where the language (and the decor) assume you're a woman, and how perimenopause and ADHD combine to affect day-to-day capacity. From there they take on the standard workplace response: why a specific menopause policy or dedicated leave can backfire when taking it flags you as less capable, why genuine flexibility and outcome-focused management work better for everyone, and how leaders, language and sensory environments either reduce the stigma or feed it.

27: What Gari Yala 2 heard from Indigenous employees
In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Bree Gorman sits down with Professor Nareen Young, Director of the UTS Centre for Indigenous People and Work, to go inside Gari Yala 2. Designed and led by Indigenous researchers, it's the national survey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees' workplace experiences. They discuss why "cultural load" is better described with the term unpaid workplace demands, why six of the ten truths haven't shifted since 2020, why identified roles still matter, and why organisations need to stop relying on the business case for DEI and start applying the Racial Discrimination Act.

26: Measuring Race and Ethnicity at Work: What Australia Gets Wrong
Prof Dimitria Groutsis and Prof Jane O'Leary have spent 15 years researching how Australian workplaces measure (or fail to measure) ethno-racial diversity. In this episode, they unpack why Australia still has no equivalent to WGEA's gender reporting for race, how sanitised language like "culturally diverse" has let organisations avoid the word race altogether, and why the way a question is worded can change the data it produces. They share practical advice on collecting granular, self-identified data without flattening people into stereotyped categories, and make the case for a legally mandated approach to counting race at work.
