In part 2 of our Global Diversity Awareness Month series, Courtnie Brazier Barrett (vice president of equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility strategy at Randstad Sourceright), and Vaishali Shah (vice president of diversity and inclusion at Randstad Sourceright, supporting our MSP and contingent business) sat down once again to talk about driving DEI initiatives forward, but this time focusing on its importance during a possible recession. With economic uncertainty looming ahead, some employers may feel they can put their workforce diversity initiatives on hold, or that they won’t be as critical as they’ve been in recent history. Courtnie and Vaishali shared their insights on why this is not true and argued that if possible, DEI is more important than ever. They also gave very concrete examples and shared tactics on how companies can make sure that their diversity goals are met, regardless of the economic conditions.

Earlier in October, Attila Kerekes sat down to have a discussion with Courtnie Brazier Barrett, vice president of equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility strategy at Randstad Sourceright, and Vaishali Shah, vice president of diversity and inclusion at Randstad Sourceright, supporting our MSP and contingent business. On the occasion of Global Diversity Awareness Month, they were sharing their insights on global DEI journeys and how to drive these initiatives forward at work.

According to our 2022 Talent Trends Report, 86% of human capital leaders said DEI is embedded within their talent strategy; however only 43% said their hiring practices supported their diversity goals last year, an indication that organisations have perhaps put these goals on the backburner.

Employers have long aspired to create more diverse workforces, more equitable outcomes for employees and a more inclusive workplace culture. To make a significant long-term impact, companies must be willing to take a driven approach to DEI and tackle it like any other business-critical priority, turning rhetoric into meaningful action.

Through this 60-minute discussion, hear how practitioners and leaders across Asia Pacific move beyond corporate trend to business imperative with tactical applications, increase diversity at all levels of the organisation and strengthen leadership and business accountability for diversity and inclusion.

The banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector has historically been able to attract the best and brightest talent with unrivaled compensation packages alone.
