Viridian DEI Consulting’s Post

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #InspireInclusion. Inspiring inclusion is not the responsibility of one person in a company but should be part of the company's DNA. This involves hiring and retaining women in executive and managerial positions, providing flexible work schedules, equal pay, and much more. As Nydia states, “ALT believes that by involving everybody, from gender, from cultures, from experiences, that we only become richer.” Watch the full interview with Nydia here:  https://lnkd.in/eNvsPVPj We are stronger together when we listen to one another, raise our women counterparts, and pay attention to ideas from all backgrounds and cultures. #IWD2024 #GenderDiversity

We are committed to inspire a culture of inclusivity where every individual can thrive. Message from M. Yasir Siddiqui Creating gender-inclusive workplaces requires systemic changes within organizations, addressing deep-rooted societal norms. While progress has been made, gender bias persists as a systemic issue tied to tradition. Businesses can support underrepresented groups by providing development opportunities, improving workplace conditions, and fostering allyship. #womenempowerment #diversityandinclusion #Inclusiveminds #inspireinclusion

Creating a Culture of Respect on LinkedIn A Respectful View As professionals, let's strive for a positive and inclusive environment on LinkedIn. Can we please focus on work-related discussions and avoid irrelevant questions? Why it matters: - Assumptions about nationality/ethnicity - Insensitivity - Unprofessional focus - Disrespect towards women and marginalized groups Let's try instead: - Focus on shared interests - Ask open-ended questions - Respect boundaries - Promote equality and inclusivity - Empower women in the workplace Let's create a space where women feel valued, respected, and supported. Together, we can break down barriers and foster a culture of inclusivity and respect. #RespectOnLinkedIn #ProfessionalismMatters #InclusiveCommunity #PositiveVibesOnly #LinkedInBestPractice #RespectForWomen #EqualityMatters #WomenEmpowerment #BreakTheBias

...And Happy Women's History month! 💐 This year's theme of #inspireinclusion is particularly important to me. Diverse perspectives bring innovative approaches to problem-solving. In the medical sector it is not only a matter of ethics, but also an imperative for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. I am inspired by the women who pioneered innovation in STEM. Often overlooked, these are just a few: - Shirley Ann Jackson, the first black woman to earn a doctorate from MIT, whose discoveries allowed caller ID, fiber optics and portable fax to be possible. - Asima Chatterjee, the first woman to earn a doctorate in science from an Indian University, who discovered treatments for Malaria and epilepsy. -Grace Hopper "Amazing Grace", the first recipient of a National (US) medal of technology, who worked on one of the earliest computers and developed the world's first compiler. -Olga González-Sanabria, a NASA scientist who invented nickel-hydrogen batteries. These now power the International Space Station.

On this Women's Day, I want to emphasize the incredible strength and versatility that women possess. We're masters of multitasking, balancing numerous responsibilities at once, and yet, we often forget to prioritize ourselves. It's crucial to remember that self-love and self-care are essential for both our physical and mental well-being, enabling us to excel in both our professional and personal lives. Take a moment to prioritize yourself and observe the positive changes in your self-esteem and energy levels. Whether it's a simple stroll, a drive, indulging in a hobby, or anything else that brings you joy, start with a small change today. It's never too late to invest in yourself. Let's also remember the importance of equality and inclusion as we celebrate Women's Day. Together, let's strive to inspire inclusion in all aspects of life, ensuring that every voice is heard and every woman is valued. Happy Women's Day to all the incredible women out there! Let's celebrate ourselves and each other as we embark on this journey of self-care and empowerment. 💪🌸 #WomensDay #SelfCare #Empowerment #InspireInclusion #Equality #Avaya #ExperiencesThatMatter

Happy International Women’s Day! This year’s theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” calls for a world free from bias, stereotypes, and discrimination; a world that’s diverse, equitable and inclusive. #Coqual’s recent equity report reveals significant gender-based disparities in the workplace: 21% of women professionals feel they have been treated unfairly because of their gender compared to only 7% of men. As we celebrate this day, let’s commit to fostering inclusive workplaces where everyone receives fair treatment and equal opportunities to succeed.

Last week I had been to North East and It's impressive to see the Northeast states prioritize #womenempowerment without #noise or excessive publicity about #diversity initiatives. It reflects a genuine commitment to fostering #genderequality and creating opportunities for women to thrive in various fields. The involvement of women in economic activities, especially in remote areas, is a significant step towards inclusive development. It not only empowers women but also contributes to the overall growth and prosperity of those regions. #womenempowerment from regions like the northeast and Himachal can serve as valuable lessons for the corporate world to learn and understand, how these states & society integrated women in various sectors without making much noise, publicity and empty talk around diversity/inclusion and made it as part of the social fabric. #womenempowerment #internationalwomensday #icfcoaching #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #linkedingroups
