How do utilities turn values into lived culture?

An expert panel explores inclusion, allyship, speaking up, and flexibility as trust.

Panel

• Sarah Hopkins – WUN Director & Director at Pathways People Solutions
• Stewart Green: Stewart Green is VP Strategy & ESG at Gentrack Group
• Kirin Kalsi is General Counsel, Compliance Officer and Data Protection Officer at E.ON UK.
• Jenny Hughes is Co‑Founder and Director at The Marketing Pod.

What does it take to create an inclusive culture when policies look strong on paper, but lived experience tells a different story?

In this episode of the WUN Video Podcast Series, the expert panel have a candid discussion on values, behaviour, and the Say‑Do Gap.

• They explore why storytelling matters, how peer‑to‑peer support can unlock psychological safety, and why active bystander approaches only work when senior leaders genuinely model the standard they expect.
• The panel also tackles the tension between hybrid working and mandated office returns, arguing that flexibility ultimately comes down to trust.
• The conversation lands on the commercial case too: when one third of women working in utilities, that responded to the WUN survey, say they are likely to leave the sector in the next three years, culture becomes a retention issue, not a nice to have.

Expect practical insights for leaders and allies who want to move beyond good intentions to real change.
