Adeife Onwuzulike, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at Euromonitor International, knows the true value of working in an inclusive and diverse company. She recently joined Euromonitor from The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) - where she was also Head of Diversity and Inclusion. At the CBI Adeife worked on embedding DEI into the business culture and strategy and created and managed a number of employee networks and worked with their clients on their DEI journey. She worked tirelessly to ensure that the organization was not only diverse but also a place where all employees felt like they can be their true authentic selves. After almost three years of a global pandemic and political and racial tensions increasing across the globe, issues around DEI have become even more critical for luxury and fashion businesses to address than ever before. The long list of new diversity and inclusion recruits witnessed across the luxury and fashion sector over the last 12 months shows that the needle is indeed moving. However, there is still a long way to go. In this podcast Adeife Onwuzulike shares her expertise and knowledge in this area with Marguerite LeRolland, Head of Fashion and Fflur Robert, Head of Luxury at Euromonitor International and addresses questions around what’s here now and what’s to come next.

Stay Home or Go Out? Can the New Roaring 20's Survive Soaring Inflation?
After a booming summer for socializing, things are starting to cool off. Inflation and the cost-of-living crisis are catching up with consumers who might still have some pent-up desire to go out. These conflicting desires leave consumers dangling between spend and save, while still looking for ways to continue their social lives. So what are they doing? How are people getting together when money is tight? On the tail end of the holiday season and as the popular “dry January” ends, our expersts discuss what’s next in this transitional time. Join Michael Shaefer, Spiros Malandrakis, and Zora Milenkovic as they discuss: Will financial pressures cause a decline in spending on social occasions? Or is there enough pent-up desire to outweigh the costs? Or will consumers simply find different, perhaps cheaper, ways of getting together? What opportunities exist for brands in this evolving landscape?

Hybrid Working: Impact on Travel, Leisure and Bleisure Travel
The fourth in a series exploring the impact of hybrid work on Western European industries, this episode explores the opportunities for destinations and brands in the growing "Bleisure Travel" market. Bleisure, the idea of combining business travel with leisure travel, is not new but it is booming. Instead of extending business travel to include a little leisure, hybrid workers are taking advantage of flexible work to extend their vacations by getting some work done. But what, if anything, are destinations and brands doing to cater to this growing crowd?
Euromonitor's Alexander Göransson and Stephen Dutton talk us through some of their findings from their recent report, Bleisure and the Future of Travel and Work. Who are Bleisure travelers? What's different about them? What are they looking for in accommodations? What are the biggest opportunities for destinations and brands? And how big IS the market for Bleisure travel?
