In today's progressive workplace, HR plays a pivotal role in driving gender equality. 🌍 Crafting inclusive policies is the first step. Diversifying recruitment to widen the talent pool brings changes which not only promote fairness but also enhance company culture. Moreover, targeted training programs that address unconscious biases and develop inclusive leadership skills are essential. These initiatives help dismantle outdated norms and encourage a culture where every voice is valued. 🗣️ Finally, maintaining open lines of communication is key to understanding and addressing gender-related challenges. Regular feedback sessions can help HR stay attuned to employee needs and adapt policies accordingly.

THE SDGs AND DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUDION (DE&I). DE&I principles are quite new and perhaps less robust in the global South. I may not be wrong to position that most national governments within the global south have overtime only paid lip service, signed agreements, and conventions in support of the aforementioned. But in practice and reality, these principles have been relegated to the background in favour of nepotism, primordial and parochial sentiments where does this leave the actualization of SDGs? As you know or will know, no government can implement the SDGs without completely embracing DE&I, it's interesting to see how one will talk about Quality Education or Gender Equality or Reduced Inequalities without thinking about DE&I. I'd love to see such an attempt. But our reality is different, so it is easy to see organizations show less interest in developing DE&I policies or training their professionals. As a growing enthusiast of DE&I, I argue succinctly that if we as a people are passionate about creating a just and egalitarian society, one that embraces the unique qualities if everyone, we must embrace, we must love, we must give chance to these principles. This can only be achieved through courageous leadership. Aaron DEKAA (DE&I ENTHUSIAST)

Let's all join forces this Friday to celebrate and acknowledge the power of women 👩🎓 "Achieving gender equality and women’s well-being in all aspects of life is more crucial than ever if we want to create prosperous economies and a healthy planet." Wonder why we at TSS are proud of achieving EcoVadis Silver Accreditation?

International Women's Day celebrates women's achievements, progress, and the challenges they face in their quest for gender equality. It also reminds us to empower women and advance their rights and opportunities in all areas of life.   This year's theme is ”Inspire Inclusion”, which encourages us to create environments where everyone, regardless of gender, feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. For #ForAfrika, the largest African humanitarian and development organisation, inclusion means ensuring equal opportunities for recognition, advancement, and career growth, regardless of gender or other factors. This theme is important for us, as we work in a world where women are a significant part of the workforce, but still face many barriers and inequalities in the workplace, such as wage gaps, limited career prospects, and discrimination.   At ForAfrika, creating inclusive workplaces is the right thing to do. Inclusivity enhances the decision-making processes within the organization, as it allows for a diverse range of voices and viewpoints to be heard and considered. Inclusivity also leads to employee satisfaction and retention. When you feel valued, respected, and included in the workplace, you are more motivated and committed to your work. In ForAfrika, we create an inclusive environment by fostering a sense of belonging and loyalty, which helps us retain and attract the best talent.   On this International Women’s Day, let’s commit to building a future where women have equal opportunities to thrive. Happy International Women’s Day!    #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024

Gender Equality is not a sprint but a marathon, which requires consistent efforts along with progress. True inclusion goes beyond just empowering all genders. Wherever diversity and Inclusivity are not present we should ask the question why? Diversity & inclusion is one of the key factors that need to be valued at all levels in an organisation. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Studies have shown that companies that are diverse & inclusive are better able to respond to top talents. 2. Organisations that have strong D&I policies are relatively better at responding to customer needs. 3. Organisations that cater for the needs of various diversified populations have better retention rates & employee satisfaction. 4. Organisations that promote diversity had a better percentage of skill development & mentorship. 5. Moreover, diversity enhances fresh perspectives and decision-making. This year's International Women's Day theme also focussed on "Inspiring Inclusion" which means celebrating Diversity and empowerment on IWD and Beyond! Inspire Inclusion recognises the unique perspectives and contributions of women and other genders. I am proud to be a part of an organisation like Technip Energies which believes in instilling the core values of Diversity & Inclusion amongst the employees by providing them with equal opportunities to be “part of the Solution”. Ten inspires employees by setting a clear vision, fostering open communication, and promoting a positive work culture. Abiding by our core values of being Inclusive and collaborative, Ten has given me profound inspiration which lies in learning from diverse perspectives of employees which has been truly enriching. #inspireinclusion #technipenergies #diversityandinclusion #communication LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating LinkedIn Guide to Networking
