To celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month we wanted to spotlight our work with a global client on their Diversity & Inclusion Initiative that we supported for a number of years. Sarah from our team, talks to us about the program she worked on and why it had such a lasting impact on her.
“Having never worked in the D&I area before, I had little knowledge of the ways in which Diversity & Inclusion played a key part in fostering innovation and leading to company growth.
From running internal campaigns around Women in STEM to hosting monthly webinars covering topics such as Fostering & Adoption, Disability in The Workplace and LGBTQ+, my D&I knowledge multiplied with each communication that I developed.
For me, this project became more than just working on client communications. I was so inspired by the amazing team who made up the global advocates, their passion and desire to improve their workplace to be more diverse and inclusive through this programme was inspirational.
My biggest learning from the team on the program was about the importance of not being scared to ask questions about things you don’t know about, even if it feels awkward or uncomfortable. I’m now able to incorporate the things I've learned and apply to other projects I work on without even realising it.”
