Episode notes

This month, we were joined by an incredible panel of leaders in the VR industry to discuss how virtual reality can open new doors in D&I training. PwC's recent project allows employees to step into the virtual shoes of those with different backgrounds and experiences in order to tackle unconscious bias in the workplace. Join the DINT team as we discuss this incredible new training opportunity with Louise Liu, Samuel Aluko, and Alex Ruhl.

Samuel Aluko is a manager at PwC who has worked with AR and VR solutions to deliver D&I learnings in an impactful way. He has delivered initiatives around sponsorship, underrepresentation, culture, social mobility, unconscious bias, mentoring, microaggressions, and pay gap recording.

Louise Liu is part of the virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality team (AR) at PwC UK which focuses on helping clients discover and unlock the benefits of these emerging technologies across their organisation.

Alex Ruhl is an award-winning virtual reality writer/director (The Drum’s 50 under 30, Women of the Future Awards, Pioneers of XR Award), an international keynote & TEDx speaker and founder of immersive production company CATS are not PEAS.
