Businesses included Meta- Lucid, SHL, NatWest and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arup.com\">Arup<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Arup is a British multinational professional services firm headquartered in London that provides design, engineering, architecture, planning, and advisory services across every aspect of the built environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/catalina-dascalescu-813963219\/\">Catalina\u00a0Dascalescu<\/a> along with her teammates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ACoAACLCUiMBQFNe_YEdPmJ2VwjgaUJobwHBfFU\" data-attribute-index=\"0\" data-entity-type=\"MINI_PROFILE\">Sarah\u00a0Lily Resanovich<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ACoAADobvjoB0VMhW-OMh-mCJX9SzQ1-k3VkSvY\" data-attribute-index=\"2\" data-entity-type=\"MINI_PROFILE\">Kate\u00a0Enslin <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ACoAAD43BvABVbth0xsAeEANmzKcHEwSNRyUTDc\">Martin Ganchev<\/a>, were\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">assigned to solve the challenge for ARUP. The challenge was about Allyship and especially how to measure it within and between individuals in order to create a more inclusive organisational environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8216;Each team had a designated Pro Coach Angel that guided us throughout the process.

We don\u2019t have a set date yet, but we are very grateful for this opportunity.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/psychology\/files\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-05-at-13.31.34.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5383\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/psychology\/files\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-05-at-13.31.34.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"486\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theabp.org.uk\/biz-psych-cup\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Find out more about the Biz Psych cup.<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/courses\/undergraduate\/3117\"><strong>Catalina\u00a0Dascalescu\u00a0is studying for a degree in BSc Business Psychology.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students from the university of Kent presented their solutions around the challenge of allyship in the workplace to a real world business.
