In this episode, Ishreen continues her conversation with one of the most influential DEI leaders globally, Asif Sadiq
Asif is driving the agenda on DEI and discusses some of the different ways organisations can work with people to create an authentic culture that respects where individuals have come from
When an organisation has values that reflect DEI and builds a transparent culture based on this understanding there are benefits for everyone and this is a great opportunity to hear about some of the innovative ways Asif has worked to create and develop the understanding that brings positive change
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It's about making the conversation inclusive making everyone feel that are part of the conversation
Diversity looks different globally there needs to be common ground and understanding about why it's beneficial for everyone
There has to be transparency to bring understanding to everyone
People need to go on a journey
For learning to stick it has to be done in different ways and encompass classroom learning, self-taught learning and experiences
Experiencing and understanding how it is for people in varying situations can support learning
Corporate culture needs to build on values that reflect DEI
If you want to challenge and understand the DEI agenda you need to understand where people come from and how and why they think the way they do
You need to be able to understand the systems you are working within and how the dynamics work
BEST MOMENTS
‘If we truly believe in it let's tell everyone why we are doing it and what the benefits are’
‘You can use different ways to help people understand what others are experiencing’
