Alia Zafar
THE BANK OF PUNJAB
KEY POINTS
Extremely important that everything we do impacts our community
Our strategy has to become intentional
We need to speak about diversity and inclusivity
We are tracking the key elements with data
It's important to have the right policies in place
We are creating a network within the community through collaborations
Asif Riaz
THE BANK OF PUNJAB
KEY POINTS
ED&I are integral components of the way we should be doing our business today
Surface level diversity is not enough. We need to dig deep
This can happen only through innovation and creativity
Only a data-driven approach can actually guarantee the utilization of a fact-based approach to manage diversity
Obstacles to diversity are lack of awareness, the perception of it as a financial cost
Rich Robles
BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
KEY POINTS
This world has to be changed for our children.
ED&I is not a program for us or a nice thing to do. We decided to do it as it’s part of our DNA
Putting data in front of our leader is important because they tell us a story.
We represent the community where we serve
How comfortable are you to talk about race and racism?
Kingley Lim
L’ORÉAL
KEY POINTS
We really believe in D&I culture
We believe internal employees' engagement drive external candidates/ consumers' experiences, hence driving ED&I awareness and education are key within our group
Theresa Cook
TIKTOK
KEYPOINTS
We look at data also to try to understand if there's any link to specific departments/levels
We do find that data science and AI attract more women
We do a lot of training with HR
Going beyond the surface of what data shows us
Aleksandar Damchevski
JTI
KEY POINTS
Our employees do the data and the brand outside
What gets measured, gets done
Many countries ask their employees “what do you want us to work on?” – that’s tricky, as the circumstances change on the cultures, and we should safeguard our employees.
NWOW – New Way of Working
Men have more connections with people on higher levels compared to women who have connections with their peers
Lamona Rajah
CUMMINS INC.
KEYPOINTS
Need quantifiable data to know your journey
Choosing the right metrics can provide a framework by which organizations can measure both their progress and the impact of their DEI initiatives
Traditionally, organizations have measured their progress and impact by overall representation of underrepresented or marginalized groups.
Move away the USA-centric approach and get the region approach.
Qualitative data: Employees’ survey is not an accurate representation of D&I
THANK YOU
