Fostering Open Conversations in the Workplace: The GENts Forum Story

In this episode of the North West Aerospace Alliance News, Emma and Daniel explore the inspiring story of the GENts Forum. Founded by colleagues Arthur and Glyn, this initiative began as regular check-ins that evolved into a monthly open forum for discussing everything from hobbies to health issues. The GENts Forum creates a safe space for people to share their experiences, with a particular focus on supporting men who may find it challenging to ask for help. The episode highlights the importance of open conversations in the workplace and the positive impact of building trust and friendships through such initiatives. The forum's informal and inclusive approach has led to meaningful discussions, including important topics like prostate cancer, and has become a valuable resource for the aerospace community.
