There is a dynamic and intimate relationship between higher purpose and outcomes (tasks / results etc). Here Karsten Breum, Chief People Officer at Danske Bank speaks directly to this in such an eloquent and insightful way. #purposepioneers #purposefulleadership #purposeful #purposeled #themindatwork

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧 – $𝟏𝟐 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩🍦 To be honest, I would have never bought it myself (I’m too frugal for that). Still, I find the price shocking and it worries me. #RisingCosts are making everyday activities less accessible for many. As someone working in the #DEI team at Deutsche Bank, where we actively promote #equity and #inclusion, this experience made me think how rising prices create barriers to participation in society. Whether it's financing daily needs or managing a household, it’s becoming harder to keep up. How can we ensure that rising costs don’t leave people behind, both in the workplace and in society? It's a challenge that requires us to think about #sustainable solutions, #FairWages, and inclusive policies. The goal of equity is not just about representation in the workplace – it’s about removing obstacles so everyone can participate fully, without being priced out. BTW:  a cone with the ice cream would have cost an extra $2.50 😲 😄 #NewYorkCity

In everything we do in our daily operational activities there is purpose. And it is often connected to a higher or collective organisational purpose.   Karsten Breum of Danske Bank highlights some of the opportunities he recognises when we raise our awareness and consciously engage with this little ‘p’ purpose and Big ‘P’ purpose.   We hope this evokes your own reflection of the purposes which inspire you and give you energy in the day to day. #purpose #purposeful #businessleadership

The biggest change we will see in DEI for 2024 - we will observe which leaders & organizations were genuinely committed to ensuring their talent feels respected, valued and heard — and who was performing. For innovative organizations supported by results driven, high-peforming & diverse teams with a broad client audiences — DE&I efforts aren’t going anywhere. “I’m going to start by telling you that I’m a full-throated, red-blooded, patriotic, unwoke, capitalist CEO,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon 💡 The bank, which this week recorded its most profitable year ever with $50 billion in net income—and is approaching a market value of $500 billion—isn’t retreating from its diversity efforts despite the “ridiculous ESG, DEI groups coming at us,” Dimon said. JPMorgan’s DEI approach mimics that of any other line of business, requiring that its leads are fanatic about the details, facts, and analysis, Dimon said. “Your heart can be in the right place, but if you don’t really think about the execution stuff, you’re gonna fail.” https://lnkd.in/gg59k6vb #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #inclusionFACTOR #WalkingTheTalk #InclusiveLeadership

Important point from Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan on DEI initiatives at companies (diversity, equity and inclusion), which have been in focus a lot in recent months: "We're mindful of the atmosphere around us. But we are committed to having a place where everybody can be successful: male, female, all different ethnicities. And then we have to help our teammates through tough times." More from Yahoo Finance's chat with Brian at the World Economic Forum below.

Hello LinkedIn Community! Yesterday, on our #CultureDay, we at UniCredit Bank Austria AG were celebrating not only our values but also the camaraderie and team spirit that define us. It was fantastic to have our new CEO Ivan Vlaho, the other board members and so many further meaningful people joining us – and we had a blast together! Our values – #Caring, #Integrity, and #Ownership – are not just words but principles we live by in everything we do. For UniCredit caring means supporting one another and being there for each other. Our integrity is evident in the transparency and honesty with which we approach our tasks. Ownership signifies that we take responsibility and achieve our goals together. Let's continue to foster a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Together, we shape the future! 🚀✨🤗🎉👏🏼 #CultureDay #Caring #Integrity #Ownership #UniCredit #UniCreditBankAustria #OurPeople #OurCulture #UniCreditCultureDay #MakeYourMark #UCBA

At the World Economic Forum last week, JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon kicked off his talk with this statement: “I’m going to start by telling you that I’m a full-throated, red-blooded, patriotic, unwoke, capitalist CEO.” He's committed to DEI initiatives because he knows that diversity, equity, and inclusion have nothing to do with the appropriated meaning of woke or being unpatriotic but everything to do with being an effective, outcomes-driven leader. Just like any other business imperative, companies have to be focused on execution, not just lip service. Without proper execution...yes, you'll fail. He's not backing off of JPMorgan DEI initiatives. Be like Jamie. #diversityandinclusion #leadership #inclusiveleadership

👏👏🏼👏🏿Proud moment for us all at MUFG to become a member of Progress Together. Thanks to dedicated efforts from our Social Mobility Network - Robert Bartlett and Shreeya Paudel in particular- we’ve joined a group of firms set to improve the socio-economic diversity at mid and senior levels in the UK financial services sector. 😥 People from low socio-economic backgrounds - women in particular - can see their careers progress more slowly than other peer groups. Navigating corporate environment and its unspoken rules is often made more difficult without proactive support or dedicated mentorship. At MUFG we want all our colleagues to feel they can succeed, are valued, empowered and supported. This partnership one of the key steps towards achieving our ambition. #SocialMobility #LSEB #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #UKFinance #FinancialServices

Kudos to Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase & Co. overall) for standing his ground when it comes to #inclusion, but please don’t exclude #neurodivergent employees and job seekers when reaffirming this position. For too long - and still too often - this talent pool is overlooked. #CompetencyBasedHiring isn’t about quotas. Let’s collectively do better. #InclusionForAll #AccessibilityMatters #HiringStrategies #AutismAtWork #NeurodiversityAtWork #Accommodations #GoodForOneGoodForAll
