Inclusion isn’t just a policy – it’s a feeling. And in this episode of The Admin Avenues Podcast, we’re joined by someone who embodies that truth every day.
Meet Liisa Partanen, winner of the 2025 AIOP Workplace Inclusion Advocate Award, recognised for her commitment to creating workplaces where people feel valued, respected, and truly seen. From intentional daily actions to subtle cultural shifts, Liisa’s impact proves that inclusion begins with the choices we make not the titles we hold.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Liisa’s journey and what shaped her passion for equity and inclusion
- How everyday behaviour can create meaningful cultural change
- Practical ways to approach conversations about bias, belonging and advocacy
- What “quiet leadership” looks like, and why it’s so powerful
- Real examples of initiatives and moments that strengthened inclusion in her workplace
- How inclusion has transformed the way she leads and supports others
- What workplaces must prioritise next to build inclusive cultures that last
Liisa’s insights are a powerful reminder that inclusion starts with intention — and that every one of us has a role to play in creating a culture of belonging.
Tune in to hear Liisa’s story, her lessons, and her vision for the future of inclusive workplaces.
