Championing Diversity: A Personal Journey Towards Belonging and Inclusion

One of the many topics that I am passionate about is diversity. Maybe this is because of my own journey, having moved to Switzerland, from India and travelled in more than 40 countries in 4 continents under my belt. Assimilation, integration, and the feeling of belonging, in a new workplace or a new country is of paramount importance to succeed as an organization and as a society.

In my humble opinion, as much as the world is seeing divisions across politics, religion, and race, there are an equal and a greater number of global organizations that are taking diversity very seriously, making these divisions diminish within their boundaries. It is heartening to see workplaces going the extra mile in hiring the right talent, creating safe spaces for all to share their stories and grow, and most importantly, putting talent above everything else.

As a society, we all have a role to play to make everyone feel safe and counted. Let’s all take our own tiny steps, whatever way we can, shall we? #Diversity #Inclusion
