In today’s evolving #workplace, sensitizing employees on the importance of #diversity, #equity and #inclusion is the need for the hour. We recently held a session on Unleash the Power of Inclusion for #leadership at VFS Global to enable and empower these #leaders build and nurture an #inclusiveculture in the organization. Thank you Harsha Shaikh, Shiraz Dastoor and Karuna Iyer for giving us this opportunity to conduct this interactive and engaging session with such a participative audience. Diversity is a fact and Inclusion is an Act!

It was a proud moment for all of us as we concluded a 6 week long Learning journey with the leadership and managers of a manufacturing MSME company on Leadership imperatives. We were all moved by the warmth shown by the participants, and the enthusiasm in their war cries, and they embark on their path ahead. The best part was, they made us a part of their future endeavours and commitment by inviting us into the whatsapp groups they have made for implementation of whatever they have learnt, and we willingly offered to mentor and guide. It gives us a huge sense of satisfaction and pride, when our clients and participants make us a part of them.

Emotional resilience has become important in today’s time and an integral part of employee wellbeing.
Over the period of pandemic we’ve seen people suffer from anxiety and burnout due to the remote working, work stress, and uncertainty in the new normal which is impacting their mental health adversely.
In our recent session with FireFly Networks Limited we discussed about approaching emotional resilience mindfully and understanding our cognitive errors. Thank you Raj Sethia, Manisha Sapra and the entire team of Firefly who helped us take them through this journey to bring out a positive change and create a resilient workplace.

Focus on employee wellbeing, their health, safety, providing them flexibility and moving to hybrid working models are some of the key expectations from employees that unanimously echoed in our recently concluded panel discussion last week. It was an enriching discussion and team Marching Sheep would like to thank all our panelists – Meenakshi Priyam, Lopamudra Banerjee, Richa Singh, Neha Oberoi and Sandeep Batra for sharing their insights and unique perspective on how organizations are responding to the evolving expectations of employees today.

Inclusion is a journey and HR teams have a big role to play, as allies, in driving an inclusive culture, sparking inclusive conversations, building #inclusive leadership. Gratitude to Ravi Sharma Dr. Nivedita Debnath Sachdev Singh Wendy Luo from Avery Dennison for inviting us for a session on #diversity equity and inclusion for their APAC HR team.

It has been 6 months that we have been associated with Avery Dennison, and it is so encouraging to see the organisation systemically drive diversity in the workplace. Kudos to the team and to the leadership!

Today’s times require intentional and mindful Emotional resilience, and with simple techniques and practice we can make all learn this life skill. Recognising our own stress triggers and how they manifest for us, knowing what our coping mechanisms are make us more #resilient and #strong. How do we navigate the axis of emotions and understanding our cognitive errors patterns makes us more mindful of our thoughts which in turn makes us able to channelise our emotions constructively. In our third interaction with employees of Nykaa, we spoke about what it takes to be in the boat to sail through #turbulent times with #resilience and #mindfulness. Thank you Nilesh Sawant and the entire team of Nykaa for making it happen and letting us all understand what it takes to build emotional resilience mindfully.

A systemic drive towards inclusion requires consistent efforts. Kudos to the team at Avery Dennison Manvi Sushil and Ravi Sharma for driving sensitisation on diversity and inclusion across the organisation. And kudos to the participants of our third session, for such meaningful participation and contribution with coming up with their own inclusion charter and action plans.
