Inclusion goes beyond just recognizing and respecting differences. It’s also about each of us being inclusive in our every-day interactions with others. The #SayMyName global employee campaign tapped into one of the most important elements we all own. Our Name. Getting each others’ name correct and understanding its uniqueness is a simple but powerful way of making each other feel valued and respected. Our colleagues across the globe joined in and shared their own name stories. Shared the origin, meaning or a funny story about their names. Yes, you “Name it”!
