Karin Seymour
Sky Media
Director of Client and Marketing
Karin Seymour’s dedication to fostering an inclusive, diverse workplace has transformed Sky Media, making her a prime candidate for the Diverse Inclusive Workplace Award. Despite limited resources and challenges with internal diversity, Karin's strategic, data-driven approach won support from senior leaders and overcame initial stakeholder resistance. By creating monthly inclusion forums for open, anonymous feedback, she has fostered transparency and engagement, enhancing Sky Media’s culture.Her vision aligns seamlessly with Sky Media’s values, demonstrated by an outstanding 93.2% diversity declaration rate on Workday, the highest within the company. As executive sponsor of Sky Media's ICAN Diversity Network, she amplified underrepresented voices and secured partnerships, like with MEFA, to support ethnic minority colleagues. Her efforts to benchmark diversity metrics have improved recruitment practices by refreshing job ads, expanding advertisement platforms, and setting up diverse hiring panels. Karin’s work has had a measurable impact: representation, employee engagement, and participation in diversity networks have increased, with feedback revealing a stronger sense of belonging among employees. Her advocacy extends beyond Sky Media through roles with WACL and The Mintridge Foundation, promoting inclusivity in sports and empowering women and underrepresented groups industry-wide. Karin Seymour is setting a new standard for diversity and inclusion at Sky Media and beyond. Her dedication has strengthened the organisation’s culture and reputation, leaving a lasting legacy. We proudly nominate her for this award, recognising her as a changemaker who champions inclusivity and equity for all.
