Interested in learning how inclusion fosters talent development and retention? Join us at the upcoming Diversity Forum 2024 event by B2B Medea on April 24th and 25th in Mexico! The impact of inclusion in our organizations is a key element of leadership, retention, and development of our talent pipeline. When prioritizing diversity and equality, the organizations not only strength their corporate identity but they also enrich their capacity to attract and retain professionals with different skills and perspectives. To foster an inclusive environment is not only a question of values and ethic but a key strategy to impulse innovation, creativity, and engagement. When we value and recognize the singularity of everyone, the companies would facility the full potential of all employees, supporting their success and career path in long term under a more diverse and dynamic working environment. Delighted to join a panel discussion called “Nearshoring: Opportunity to strength diversity and CSR” with Ana Laura Ludlow and Juan Carlos Meade as part of the Diversity Forum 2024 by B2B Medea, and where we want to discuss how investments, relocation of supply chains and nearshoring could be an opportunity to develop our diversity and CSR strategy, and how the organizations could benefit from best practices to promote inclusion and social responsibility in their operations.

🌈 It's #Pride Month: let's highlight the importance of inclusion and diversity measures! Beyond words or principles, we implement concrete measures to ensure the maintenance and development of initiatives that promote the inclusion and fulfillment of our staff. 💚 1. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 🤝 We rely on increased training aimed at identifying and eliminating judgments and biases – both conscious and unconscious – to ensure an impartial recruitment process. We also firmly believe in the importance of giving a second chance to individuals who facing difficulties, both present and past. 2. 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 📚 Informing, raising awareness, and fostering the personal and professional development of our employees are essential actions for mobilization and continued growth.

Aurélie Ceuppens, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager at bpostgroup, shares her thoughts on what #DEI means in our vibrant group mosaic: "With a team of 35,000 employees, representing over 100 nationalities, we mirror the diversity of our company. By embracing diverse perspectives and experiences, we recognize that the journey to inclusion comes with opportunities and challenges."

❓ A couple of weeks ago, I received the following question: Can you truly be an effective DE&I manager without a migration background? While I understand the sentiment behind the question, the question actually also feed the idea that opportunities seem determined by identity. 💌 My answer: despite not sharing a specific background, I do have my own identity and I hope to bring essential skills to the table: curiosity, openness, empathy, and most importantly a diverse network from who I learn a lot. 😎 DE&I is an attitude but DE&I work isn't easy. It's a mix of opportunities and challenges, highs and lows. Some may call it utopian, given the entrenched stereotypes, prejudices, and systemic barriers. Yet, I love my job! 💏 Step by step, we're breaking down barriers and fostering inclusion & belonging. So let's keep pushing forward, challenging perceptions, and building a world where everyone's voice matters. #inclusion #diversity #belonging

Our founder Lene Leth Rasmussen is featured in the latest issue of Out & About magazine. She underlines the importance of supplier diversity. Organizations such as ESDP (European Supplier Diversity Project) are working to promote supplier diversity on a EU-level, but Denmark is falling behind compared to other European countries and the US where supplier diversity is already implemented. Lene urges larger companies in Denmark to consider hiring a Supplier Diversity Manager and to work more systematically with supplier diversity by fostering fair competition and initiating conversations about supplier diversity within organizations. As Lene points out: "I don't think it's a question of whether supplier diversity will become part of corporate procurement policies. It's a question of when it will happen, and in which countries it will happen first, and how it will happen."   Find the complete article written in Danish by Thomas Kristensen here: https://lnkd.in/dq4KXwus
