In this episode, Ishreen continues her conversation with one of the most influential DEI leaders globally, Asif Sadiq 

Asif is driving the agenda on DEI and discusses some of the different ways organisations can work with people to create an authentic culture that respects where individuals have come from 

When an organisation has values that reflect DEI and builds a transparent culture based on this understanding there are benefits for everyone and this is a great opportunity to hear about some of the innovative ways Asif has worked to create and develop the understanding that brings positive change 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Diversity looks different globally there needs to be common ground and understanding about why it's beneficial for everyone 
• There has to be transparency to bring understanding to everyone
• People need to go on a journey
• For learning to stick it has to be done in different ways and encompass classroom learning, self-taught learning and experiences 
• Experiencing and understanding how it is for people in varying situations can support learning 
• Corporate culture needs to build on values that reflect DEI 
• If you want to challenge and understand the DEI agenda you need to understand where people come from and how and why they think the way they do
• You need to be able to understand the systems you are working within and how the dynamics work
