Tune into our monthly podcast where we dive into strategies for inclusive distributed work and hear from global leaders sharing their experiences and expertise.
We’ve been talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in companies for 50+ years, but the conversation isn’t keeping up with how quickly our world is changing. So isn’t it about time we updated the conversation for our globally distributed workforce? This podcast provides equity-minded leaders practical advice to lead inclusion in the workplace.
Inclusion in Progress is hosted by Kay Fabella. Kay is a Filipina-American living in Spain since 2010. She’s also a DEI practitioner, author, speaker, and CEO of Inclusion in Progress, LLC. Having worked with companies like Red Hat, Meta, the IMF, and more, she brings a nuanced international perspective to her company’s work with distributed teams. Kay believes that everyone — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, age or background — has a role to play in creating inclusion for all.
Inclusion in Progress will give you the insights, daily micro-actions, and data-driven strategies you need to create an equitable work culture that brings out the best in each of us. So if you’re a company leader who’s ready to turn DEI from insight into action — hit that subscribe button to learn how your leadership can create a more inclusive world for us all.

On this episode of Inclusion in Progress, we resume our Distributed Work Expert Series.
With this series, we’re highlighting some of the world’s leading experts who continue to map, innovate, and design how distributed work looks from inside forward-thinking companies — designing a version of work that works for teams — regardless of where they choose to work.
Our goal is to start highlighting distributed work leaders in companies to help forward-thinking leaders like you to:
- Navigate remote and hybrid work challenges with real-world examples
- Draw inspiration to find a distributed work model that is best suited for your teams
- Reimagine your workplaces with research-backed insights from experts at the forefront of the future of work conversation
For this episode, we’re joined by Leah Knobler, VP of People at Help Scout, who shares their company’s commitment to accessibility, transparency, and intentionality — as a fully remote-first organization since 2012.
Leah shares how Help Scout continues to double down on their distributed work model — in spite of the current RTO (return-to-office) trends — and how their remote-first approach has allowed them to continue to grow globally year on year.
🎧 Tune in now to learn more about how global leaders like you are continuing to adapt in our ever-changing work landscape.
