"DEI in our organization has a sour taste" - says Silver Partner of the "D&I Changemakers Conference" - HSBC! "Some people don't like it (we tend to look for sweet and nice things), but it is one of the five main flavors inseparable from our existance. Some people love the taste of pickles and sauerkraut, some grimace when they have to taste lemon. But remember - if you want to get the "Smile's Order" in Poland (an award given by children), you have to eat a leamon and then smile:)) Similar to #DEI in our company - diversity exists, we face it every day, and we need to make sure the dots are connected in a way that creates a friendlier workplace beyond those differences. It's always about perspective. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Isn't that right?" HSBC - so good to have you as our PARTNER!!! See what else they write about themselves in the context of #DEI: "We seek out views different from our own. Therefore, Diversity & Inclusion is integral to who we are and how we work. We support the dialogue between generations and nationalities, variety of cultures and beliefs, equal chances for development of women and men, working parents, LGBT+ community, people with disabilities and learning activities. The initiatives driven by D&I create an open workplace, where everyone can be themselves and follow the best career path. We help improve language skills, make new connections, encourage employees to develop talents within the organisation, and share experiences. Our mission is to open up a world of opportunities where everyone feels included." Have you already signed up for the conference? This is the perfect time to do it! https://lnkd.in/dTgPiJRH #WeAreHSBC, #HSBCKrakow, #LiveAtHSBC, #GreatPlaceToWork, #Inclusion #DIchangemakers2023 #whatsyourflavor #registerforfree #besteventever #diversityhub #diversitymatters #nosugarcoating #DiversityAtW

Celebrating the Voices of Inclusivity!    In honor of International Women's Day, we're spotlighting some of the brilliant minds driving inclusivity within MCN. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Elifsu Tufan (Serin), CEO at McCANN Istanbul. When asked about the benefits of fostering a culture of inclusivity, Elifsu shared her powerful perspective:   What does inclusivity mean to you, and how have you experienced its importance in your journey within our organization? In McCann's Istanbul office, 75% of the employees are women. This wasn't a conscious decision; rather, all of our employees are with us because they excel in their roles. We also have people of different religions and sexual orientations. We don't emphasize these differences. Inclusivity isn't a particular obsession for us; it's simply a natural aspect of our workplace culture. We're content with how things naturally unfold, and that brings us great happiness. How do you believe fostering a culture of inclusivity benefits both individuals and the overall success of our organization? The biggest threat, especially for creative industries, is monotony. A boring environment does not nurture us. There should also be contrasting ideas. Individuals with completely different backgrounds should be able to work together. It saddens me that women’s rights remain a pressing issue today. Therefore, I don't look at it as gender inclusion, but as inclusion for all kinds of thoughts and preferences. In your opinion, what actionable steps can companies take to ensure that all voices are heard and valued, fostering a truly inclusive environment? First of all, the perspective of the management team should change. They should have the foresight to assemble teams comprising individuals with diverse perspectives. Initiatives like MCN's "Day for Meaning" are very valuable. I found them very beneficial and made notes for myself, as a manager.    Join us in celebrating her insights and the invaluable contributions of all the women making a difference every day.   #IWD2024 #InclusiveLeadership #InspireInclusivity #MCNfamily #VoicesofInclusivity #McCann #VoicesofInclusivity

Meet Lara, an Experience Designer from #DeloitteDigital “Shining a light on the spectrum of human needs, mindsets and contexts is essential to my role. With my teams, I believe that everyone has something to contribute, so I will always prioritise creating a safe space for them to have their voice heard. “Inclusion is, by its very definition, about togetherness. It feels welcoming; collaborative. I appreciate this sentiment for International Women’s Day as it focuses on how we can all come together to drive positive change.” For Lara, to inspire inclusion means “To spark a different way of thinking; to encourage ourselves, and others, to check our biases and be curious and innovative in our mindset.” How will you inspire inclusion? #IWD2024 #IWDatDeloitteDigital #InspireInclusion Lara Ellis

8 March: Happy International Women’s Day. #inspireinclusion is the theme for this year. For me that’s one of the first things any company needs. I was taught this still valuable way of thinking by Adam Travis. Thank you for shaping my view on Inclusion and Diversity. Without a team accepting everyone’s perspectives, not everyone will feel valued. Inclusive companies are more likely to create a workforce that reflects a variety of backgrounds and experiences. If you are a good representation of your community, this will help you succeed as a company. To this day we still see proud summaries of successful workshops, team meetings and so on, yet looking at them closely we miss representation of everyone in their community. I wonder how this can be truly successful as you probably haven’t discussed all possibilities, simply because you probably couldn’t consider all options. Totally making an assumption here, but that meeting could be called successful, because there was an easy agreement in the direction to take, with many like-minded people in the room. May I suggest that in your next meeting we look at people in the room and think; do we have everyone around the table to make the right decision, because you are able to consider all options? I wish for everyone to reach their business goals and this may just help you get a bit closer! Happy International Women’s Day! #iwd2024 #inspireinclusion #sdg5 #equality #equity

What is the common thread of the keywords AI, Diversity and Innovation? This question we answered in our Diversity Celebration 2024 • For this year's Diversity Day we got together to discuss topics concerning AI-solutions, gender equality, Diversity and Belonging and how we can use new technologies like GenAI in a responsible manner, while at the same time not stopping the progress and speed of adoption. • In Austria, Switzerland and Germany more then 100 colleagues have been driving 18 tremendous I&D projects and gave us the hard task to choose the 3 winning projects for our Equality Award. • At Accenture DACH we foster a culture and a workplace in which all our people feel a sense of belonging, are respected, and are empowered to do their best work and create 360° value for all our stakeholders. • We expect our leaders at all levels to help create and sustain a culture of belonging where everyone can achieve their professional and personal aspirations. This commitment starts at the top — with our Chair and CEO, our Board of Directors and our Global Management Committee. • We take a broad view of diversity that encompasses the spectrum of identities, and we are committed to ensuring everyone feels connected, with a strong sense of trust and belonging. • Accessibility and inclusion: We strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where all our people can thrive. • Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Diversity Day 2024. #DiversityDay2024 #AccentureDach #Diversity #Inclusion #GenerativeAI #FemaleMentoring #Hola #IntegrationSolution Christina Raab, Lena Schuphan, Andrea Bachmann, Katharina Keilwert, Christopher Twardokus, Kathrin Pantzer, Anke Lenz and so many more.

This International Women’s Day is all about inspiring inclusion. So, what does inclusion mean to me? Inclusivity isn’t straightforward or simple, it can mean different things to different people, and sometimes that can create friction between groups with different priorities. This means that inclusivity isn’t easy, it takes hard work. It requires introspection: recognising our own preconceptions and biases, and it requires openness: being ready to have those preconceptions challenged. Inclusion requires empathy and solidarity, so that we can all work together to lift one-another up. Inclusivity means celebrating our differences, cheering for the achievements of our peers, being inspired by the achievements of those we wish to emulate, and giving encouragement to anyone who needs help or support in reaching their goals.
