🎉 We have been getting ‘InspireD’ during Global Diversity & Inclusion Month On the 9th of October, we kicked off Global Diversity & Inclusion Month with our ‘InspireD’ session featuring Anna Parker about Developing Cultural Awareness. Our ‘InspireD’ sessions are 60-minute TEDtalks based on topics important to us and aligned to our Core Values. This session proved instrumental in enriching our #cultural awareness, a theme close to our hearts. 🎙️ What did our employees tell us? 💡 "I learnt how to deal with colleagues from across the globe and how to make others feel more comfortable. I am more aware of how I can develop my confidence in situations where I want to bring positive energy and eliminate stereotypes!" 💡 "My take away was to not interact with people the way you want people to interact with you, but rather the way they would like you to interact with, based on their cultural norms.” 💡 "I learnt a range of tips to communicate with people who have different styles of communications with regards to culture and topics to be aware and more careful of.” Keep an eye out for our other initiatives across Global #Diversity & #Inclusion Month: https://lnkd.in/dAAuZFC2 💫 #DedalusDiversity #InclusionMatters

🌟 Major Learning Alert 🌟 I had an eye-opening realization recently, and it's something I believe can truly transform the way we approach inclusivity in our workplaces. The lesson is simple yet profound: the power of silence. In our journey to foster a more inclusive working culture, the first step is to "shut up". Yes, you heard that right. It's about giving the floor to others, allowing their ideas and opinions to shine through. This isn't about silencing ourselves without purpose, but about consciously creating space for diverse voices to be heard. Inclusion starts with us. Let's commit to being better listeners, to encouraging and amplifying the voices that often go unheard. Because when we do, we not only enrich our discussions but also empower those around us to contribute their unique perspectives. #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion #ListenToInnovate

🌍 Celebrating World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 🌍 Today, 3rd of June, we recognise the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, a day dedicated to promoting the importance of cultural diversity and inclusion in the workplace and beyond! Embracing cultural diversity isn't just a moral imperative—it's a strategic advantage. Diverse teams drive innovation, creativity, and growth by bringing together unique perspectives and experiences. In an inclusive environment, collaboration flourishes, problem-solving improves, and teams become stronger and more resilient. Today, let's reflect on how we can further create diversity and inclusion within our organisations. By doing so, we not only combat discrimination and biases but also create more equitable and harmonious workplaces. Join me in celebrating the richness of cultural diversity and committing to making inclusion a cornerstone of our professional lives. Together, we can build a better, more inclusive future! #CulturalDiversity #Inclusion #WorldDiversityDay #WorkplaceInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion #Innovation #Collaboration #Equity
