Diversity Simplified

Today November 19th is International Men’s Day, a day to call out men who are making a positive impact in our communities and workplaces. This year’s theme is #Positive Male Role Models. True role models are those who normalize conversations about vulnerability, mental health, and emotional well-being, showing us that strength and sensitivity can coexist. I’ve seen first-hand how men as allies hold a critical role in the DEI journey. When men challenge gender norms, speak up for inclusion, and actively uplift marginalized voices, they create ripples of change that benefit everyone. Let’s encourage and support men to break free from societal expectations and create spaces where they can thrive authentically. Here’s to the men who lead with empathy and inspire with their actions.

Just wrapped up an impactful session on Unlocking Business Growth with DEI: A Leadership Imperative for the managers and leaders at Epsilon India. Through case studies, engaging discussions, and shared lived experiences, we explored how inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and embedding DEI into daily actions are essential for team success and growth. Key takeaway? DEI isn’t just a concept, it’s an everyday leadership imperative that fuels business success, fosters stronger teams, and creates a culture of belonging thus enabling sustainable growth. #EpsilonIndia #Diversity #Inclusion #Leadership #DEI Diversity Simplified Sreenamol Sasidharan Prerna Jaswant

Thrilled to have partnered with the Synergy Marine Group for an impactful workshop at their Officers Seminar 2024 focused on advancing gender diversity within the maritime industry! In a traditionally male-dominated space, Synergy is taking significant strides to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women at sea. Through engaging discussions, real-world case studies, and action-oriented strategies, we explored ways to address challenges unique to women seafarers, from career progression to work-life balance. Highlights from the workshop: - Practical approaches to break barriers in improving representation, growth and retention of women seafarers. - Strategies to promote inclusion, belonging and empathy among crew members and leaders. - Industry best practices that foster inclusion, equity, and belonging at every level. A shout out to the team at Synergy for their openness and commitment to making gender diversity a strategic priority. It’s uplifting to see a leading ship management company championing gender equity and the inspiring #womenseafarers who are role models for this change. Hoping for a more equitable and inclusive maritime industry!

🚀 Ananya Sharma and I had the privilege of moderating an inspiring podcast alongside remarkable Women Leaders Sunita Rebecca Cherian from Wipro, Bhumika Pant from National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI) and Tina Vinod from Diversity Simplified during the #Finclusion Week, as part of Wipro's Financial Wellbeing Month, powered by SalarySe. 🌟 Our commitment to #financialinclusion for all #diversity groups does beyond the business objectives - it is a fundamental part of who we are. 🔑 Sunita, with her decades of transformative leadership and a driving force in advancing this vital mission, explained the unique challenges Women and other diversity groups face and how forward looking industry leaders like Wipro have been able to foster real inclusivity way better than most other in the country. 📲 Bhumika eloquently described the findings of 'UPI for Her' report, speaking about the transformative impact of UPI in helping grow the penetration of digital payments amongst women in last 10 years in India, and the path towards empowering over 200 million women to take control of their payments and finances. 🙌 Tina added her well researched perspective of the unique challenges working women face, highlighting the urgent need for awareness to boost their comfort and confidence. 🌟 Personally, I believe that in the coming years, the working Indian women will surpass USD 100 billion in annual salaries, reflecting their significant and growing contributions to the economy. 💪 SalarySe with its thoughtfully curated and personalised products and solutions, is making an attempt to create a unique and enriching experience to the Working Indian Woman. 📢 Together, we are building curated solutions tailored for every individual, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey toward financial empowerment. Let’s keep the conversation going and work together to create a more inclusive financial landscape!

The heartbreaking news about Anna Sebastian Perayil, a 26-year-old chartered accountant who lost her life due to overwhelming workload, is a reminder of the toll that excessive work pressure can take on our health and well-being. Just talking about #DEI as part of our brand initiatives and policies is not enough. #Inclusion and #Equity needs to be an everyday action. Sensitising managers and building a culture of safety where 'saying 'NO' is ok, is needed today. We've all faced moments where we stretch ourselves thin, sacrificing our health and time with loved ones for the sake of deadlines and expectations. I've been there too and learnt my lessons. Additionally, we often generalise #GenZ's ask for balance as a lack of commitment to work. We need to recognize that their emphasis on balance and well-being comes from a desire for sustainable careers. They are advocating for healthier work environments and workplace cultures, and we should listen. As leaders and managers, it’s a responsibility to be sensitive to your team's health and needs. Together, we can create safer, healthier workplaces for all. #InclusionEverydayAction #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #InclusiveLeadership #InclusionInHR Diversity Simplified

nasscom Global Inclusion Summit 2024 I ran the Masterclass:The Role of Allies in Empowering Gender Equity - to a room full of folks invested in exploring their personal lived experiences which influences their behaviours, actions and biases today. It was the last Masterclass, of a very packed day. It was high on introspection, engagement and sharing lived experiences. I was unsure if this format would work in this summit. But It Did! That's what DEI workshops are, they are not a series of team building activities but a deep introspection on our conditioning, experiences and past, that influences and reflects on who we are today. Thanks to everyone who participated so genuinely. Your willingness to engage in open, honest conversations was inspiring and a testament to the power of collective sharing and learning. May our community grow! Thanks Genpact for the awesome collaboration and Moonish Sood for sharing your allyship journey.

I recently had the opportunity to do a guest session on #DEI for the Executive Certificate Programme for #ESG Professionals by Indian Institute of Management Mumbai and Ekonnect Knowledge Foundation in the area of Mainstreaming ESG in Business Strategy. I spoke about - ‘Transformative DEI through ESG: Beyond Metrics to Meaningful Impact.’ There can be no successful ESG without a strategic and holistic focus on DEI.  In the session I covered the S of ESG - Social factors that significantly influence corporate performance and sustainability and how as the landscape of corporate responsibility evolves, understanding the interplay between DEI and ESG is crucial for long term impactful business practices. Hoping to write an article on this soon.... #ESG #DEI #StrategicDEI #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity Diversity Simplified Asha Panwar @prasadmodak
