Deutsche Bank Belgium’s Post

Each year HSBC celebrates International Women’s Day, as we promote inclusion, regardless of gender, for our employees and customers.  In recent years, I have been glad to see the number of women in leadership positions grow thanks to improved recruiting and promotion practices, and more flexible workplace policies. Globally, HSBC is reaching 35% female representation in senior roles, and progress is faster in some of our local markets, including Hong Kong and mainland China. This has coincided with an inspiring transformation of our business.  There is unquestionably much work still to be done, both inside companies and within our societies, to educate and to change attitudes. But one lesson from the history of “Asian Tiger” economies is clear: removing barriers to female professional participation and advancement unleashes dynamism and drives growth. Investing in women is the right thing to do, and the smart thing to do, and HSBC will keep investing. #HSBC #InternationalWomenDay #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen  Luanne Lim, Christina Ma, Amanda Murphy, Astor Law, Susan Sayers, Jessica Lee, Kai Zhang, Darren Furnarello (ICA), David Grimme, David Gareth Thomas, Greg Hingston, Hitendra Dave, Kee Joo Wong, Mark Wang, Martin Haythorne, Matthew Ginsburg, Ming L., Monish Tahilramani Omar Siddiq, Paul Stafford, Philip Fellowes, Surendra Rosha, Bonnie Qiu 邱怡静, Jai Pawani

Nest Bank S.A. on the Diversity IN Check 2023 List Diversity management in the workplace is becoming increasingly important year by year. We work in more international and multicultural organizations. The role of women and non-heteronormative individuals is growing. We are better at identifying differences in personality types and have a better understanding of neurodiversity. These are all positive developments that allow more people to feel good and safe in the workplace. The effect of actions taken by companies is also visible outside their offices and strengthens a positive trend throughout society. Obviously, this transformation is not yet complete. The Month of Diversity, an event supporting the fight against workplace discrimination, has just ended. On this occasion, we learned the results of the Diversity IN Check survey, based on which the list of the most advanced employers in diversity and inclusion management in Poland was announced. I’m very pleased that Nest Bank is among them. Diversity IN Check is a comprehensive tool that assesses an organization's maturity in diversity management. It's not just a list but, above all, an in-depth analysis based on international standards. This ensures that our actions are real, not just declarative. We are proud of this recognition, but we are not resting on our laurels. We aim to build a bank where everyone feels respected, appreciated, and properly understood. A bank that is open to diversity and creates equal opportunities for all. I encourage you to check out the full list of Diversity IN Check 2023 and see which other great companies are helping to build a more inclusive world. P.S.: The sun was shining on us 😉 #DiversityINCheck #NestBank #InclusiveWorkplace #ESG Karta Różnorodności

🌟 Exciting News from HSBC's Generations Week! 🌟 Recently, HSBC embarked on a fantastic initiative called "Generations Week," and I had the privilege to be a part of it. This groundbreaking event encouraged open conversations about generational diversity in the workplace, including exploring how different generations define their sense of purpose. As the founder and CEO of XYZatWork I had the honor of kicking off Generations Week with a masterclass on “Thriving in the Multigenerational Workplace”, and by providing a bespoke guide to help all HSBC leaders start the conversation. This is crucial as we acknowledge that generational diversity is essential for our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. In this insightful article published by HRD magazine Sue Anne Tay, managing director, chief of staff Greater China, and I dive deeper into the importance of generational diversity in the workplace The key takeaway? Understanding and embracing generational differences is a superpower for organizations. It's a competitive advantage that strengthens teams, sparks innovation, and fosters creativity. Let's make sure to: 1️⃣ Acknowledge generational diversity as a vital part of our DE&I strategy. 2️⃣ Promote open dialogue where every generation's experiences are valued. 3️⃣Embrace these differences as opportunities for growth and learning. Generations Week has shown us the power of coming together, bridging generational gaps, and creating a safe space for communication. It's an ongoing journey, and I'm thrilled to see how organizations like HSBC are taking bold steps towards a more inclusive future. Let's continue this important conversation and make generational diversity a boardroom-level discussion. It's time to harness the collective strength of all generations and become invincible in our pursuit of excellence! 💪🚀 #GenerationsWeek #DiversityAndInclusion #Innovation #MultigenerationalWorkplace

What a fantastic morning 👌🏼! We - the members of the Champions of Change Club - got invited to a working breakfast by Olga Leonowicz and His Excellency US Ambassador Mark Brzezinski 🇺🇸 to share the best practices in the area of #DEI 🌈. Behind this initiative were Olga Kozierowska and Anna Flis who have been doing an amazing job ✌🏼 in passionately supporting Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the corporate universe in Poland 🇵🇱. I had an opportunity to present some of concrete achievements, activities and initiatives in BNP Paribas Bank Polska. In our bank we treat diversity very seriously and that is why, since January 1, 37.5% of the Management Board and 42% of the Board of Directors are women. Last year, to the four existing employee networks, two new ones were added. They support people with disabilities and neurodiverse colleagues. Personally, I am very proud that our employees have the courage and willingness to act and to make changes that will make their professional life easier 👍🏼. I would not be honest if I did not mention the challenges that we face. Activation of people with disabilities is still a sphere where we have to be more active and definitely do more! I am modestly happy that the employment rate of people with disabilities in our bank is constantly rising, though 😊. Supporting and implementing DEI in an organisation is a process. It requires genuine firm commitment of senior leadership. We have to be consistent in our actions, but also patient. We did a lot, but we are humble and know that there is still more to be done 📈. Last but not least, DEI is mostly about our people. Business leaders have to listen to them and empower them to drive changes! Cooperation is the only way to move things forward. #ChampionsOfChange #DEI #SustainableFuture 🍀

Names are more than just labels, they are a reflection of identity and heritage. HSBC beautifully underscores the importance of embracing diversity and inclusion through names.

A strong and inclusive business culture is crucial for the success of any organization. Not only does it benefit the employees, but it also has a positive impact on customers and the bottom line. The importance of inclusion cannot be overstated, and it's great to see when individuals and companies prioritize it. Kudos to Jamie D for highlighting the significance of this topic. Let's continue to strive towards creating a workplace that values and celebrates diversity. #inclusion #inclusionmatters #bottomline

For #IWD2024, our Head of North Asia Kanas Chan spoke to Citywire Asia about her experience navigating gender biases and ‘Mum guilt’. Her determination to maintain a work-life balance while being a role model for her children gave her the strength to pursue her career through the years. In the male-dominant finance industry, she suggested that workplaces can provide coaching and training to encourage women to speak up and boost their confidence. #emergingmarkets #privatebank #wealthmanagement #positiveimpact

How can we create workplaces where people feel comfortable, valued and appreciated for what they bring to the table – not in spite of their differences, but including their differences? Talking is the first step to busting myths and breaking down stigmas; made even more powerful when done in collaboration with clients and local NGOs. Today, I moderated a fantastic discussion, along with my colleague Sanjeev Chatrath, on ‘Accessibility and Inclusion in Financial Services’. We were joined by our wonderful speakers, Kylie McGavin, APAC Head of Inclusion, HSBC, Jeff Rotmeyer, Founder ImpactHK and Love21, Kaleem Rizvi, Managing Director, Head-Corporate Banking, Asia North & Australia, Citi and Tomoko Nyunoya, Co-Chair Enable Network, Morgan Stanley, Japan. My key takeaway was how our employee resource groups, through their events, campaigns and actions, are potent catalysts for change and the need to maximize their impact. By harnessing the ‘power of all’ we can create more awareness and understanding of people with disabilities and build organizations and society where everyone can flourish without obstacles. Many thanks to our speakers and everyone who joined us. It was an inspiring discussion to end the year.
