The InterSearch Worldwide global Conference 2018 dedicated special attention to the cause of Diversity & Inclusion
The global human capital trends also have exciting novelty. They show that D&I at the workplace are CEO-level issues by now; the global political environment increased employee sensitivity to D&I; it is a fact that D&I became an essential component at work, especially at the global companies; it is proved that D&I teams outperform their peers, and D&I created a significant public attention worldwide nowadays.
Our Diversity & Inclusion Practice Group at InterSearch conducted a survey whose aim was to map the practice of Diversity & Inclusion within the global organisation. At the conference, the main lessons of the survey were shared. The questions covered three areas related the general importance of D&I in the country, the IWW partner firm activities with the clients as well as their internal D&I processes and strategies. The answers showed that at the moment our landscape is very diverse on every level.
We all know that bringing D&I to an organisation is difficult – at least at first. We need commitment, resilience and passion. As inclusive leaders, we need to model Diversity and Inclusion making ourselves a part of the diversity and inclusion management process that sets the tone for the rest of the organisation.
And what can we do as executive search companies?
- First of all, we have to be sensitive when working with clients on matters related to age, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation.
- In addition, we should assist clients with diversity & inclusion.
- Last but not least we need to be committed to practising this within our organisation as well as for promoting the aim of D&I.
InterSearch prides itself on having the best local firms and consultants committed to excellence and Diversity & Inclusion.
DIVERSITY IS A FACT. INCLUSION IS A CHOICE. OUR CHOICE.
