Our Founder & CEO Sonica Aron speaking at an event by Punjabi Chamber of Commerce

We often hear organizations and leaders talk about gender diversity and equity. Yet, often gender inclusion remains only in letter and not in spirit. As organizations, we need to accept the fact that our employees are a sub-unit of the society and therefore, to bring a change at the societal level, we need to bring a change in the mindset and perceptions of our employees. It is not just about hiring women but also giving them an #inclusive environment to grow and thrive. In a recent event organized by Punjabi Chamber of Commerce, our founder and Managing Partner – Sonica Aron (She/Her/Hers), spoke about the importance and benefits of Gender Diversity at the workplace. Thank you Nazm Singh Bilochpura and Kanak Rana for organizing this event Constitution Club Of India to support having a gender balanced workforce in organizations. It is indeed encouraging to see all platforms recognising the need for #inclusiveworkplaces.

Woman@Work workshop for Uber employees in Europe, Middles East and Africa region

For most organizations, gender equality initiatives are focused on hiring women rather than providing them an enabling environment which empowers them to be themselves and speak their minds. The result of which is a leaky bucket which we often see in organizations for Gender roles globally across levels. We recently conducted Woman@Work workshop for Uber employees in Europe, Middles East and Africa region with women participants spread across different geographies.
With focus on conversations like understanding personal identity, having the confidence to create our own table space and share expectations confidently, growth and career intentionally, yet being their own authentic selves, it was a workshop where ideas, thoughts and experiences were openly shared. Thank you Chris Folwell for having us become a part of this journey.
