Building an Inclusive Culture - Our Journey 🌍 We are honoured to reaffirm that Media Zoo has been named the 'Inclusive and Diverse Employer of the Year' by Corporate Vision Magazine! This award recognizes our ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging within Media Zoo and through our client partnerships. Yasmine Alani FLPI, our Head of Creative Learning, DEI & Culture, shares our journey and how we managed to achieve it: "Building inclusive cultures can be a challenge, but it's always helpful to set out a solid approach, making sure you reflect on your progress as you go." Our inclusion journey focused on the ABC approach to Inclusion:   • Awareness: This looked at building understanding and appreciation of marginalised groups, by running internal campaigns for themes such as Neurodiversity Celebration Week, Black History Month and Deaf Awareness Week • Belonging: Here, we designed unique events and spaces where people could celebrate being themselves, such as hosting a Media Zoo 'Vogue Ball' for Pride, and hosting an internal panel talk for International Women's Day • Connection: This was all about amplifying employee's voices, making them feel heard, and part of the journey. We did this by bringing in engagement surveys and running 'culture and value' sessions where everyone could have a say. #DEIB #Diversity #Inclusion #InspiringPositiveChange #MediaZoo

Let's not just open the door, let's make sure everyone has a chance to shine on the dance floor of opportunity. ✨ In a world where we all blend together in harmony, the symphony of voices creates a masterpiece that resonates far beyond the boundaries of our differences. 🌈 When we embrace inclusion, we unleash the full potential of our teams, our organizations, and our society. It's not about fitting in, it's about standing out together. ✨ Let's challenge ourselves to not just preach diversity and inclusion but to live and breathe it every single day. After all, it's in the colorful mosaic of our differences that we find the true beauty of humanity. 🌟 So let's celebrate each other's uniqueness, embrace the richness of our varied experiences, and build a world where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation. ✨ Inclusion is not a destination; it's a journey we must all embark on together, hand in hand, heart to heart. Let's take that first step today and create a future where everyone belongs and thrives. 🌈 Remember, true inclusion is not just about diversity of faces; it's about diversity of thoughts, ideas, and perspectives.

Let's walk this path together and make inclusion not just a goal but a reality in every aspect of our lives. 🌟 Let's be the change we wish to see in the world by fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and belonging.
