DIAL Global will be hosting the first of three summits on diversity, equity and inclusion this year, with senior leaders from FTSE 100 & Fortune 500 companies today.
Global leaders from Unilever, Verizon Media, The Co-op, Britvic, The FA, Motorola, Sodexo, KPMG and many more will discuss top diversity trends for 2021 at the summit. The CEO of The Co-op, Steve Murrells, for example will discuss how he has learned to speak up on diversity and became a ‘CEO activist’.
Lord Simon Woolley, CBE, CEO of Operation Black Vote and Chair of the Government Race Disparity Unit, will lead discussions on how the growing trend of extreme polarisation is impacting work around the world in diversity. And Sandy Gould, VP Talent of Verizon Media will lead panelists to discuss how individuals’ diversities can be transformed into ‘super powers’.
EMPOWERING INCLUSION
DIAL Global, the global community for diverse, inclusive and aspirational leaders, aims to empower leaders to make brave choices; and take real action by equipping them with the insight, understanding, inspiration and personal support needed to create more open, diverse and inclusive workplaces.
“We’ve gathered some of the world’s most authentic and inspirational leaders to talk openly about hot topics in diversity,” stated Leila McKenzie-Delis, CEO and Founder of DIAL Global. “We leave behind the rhetoric and empty talk about diversity and inclusion and talk about what really matters – real actions and real results. This Global Summit allows us all to learn from each other about how to best create change in our workplaces and in our lives. Because in our workplaces, there is much to do, much to heal, much to restore, much to build and a lot more to gain.”
INSPIRING CHANGE
McKenzie-Delis hopes these stories will “inspire every person out there to take a stand, take real action and advocate for diversity and tolerance inside and outside their organisations”. “Wanting and wishing for a different world won’t get us there – we all need to act. Big, small, bold or quiet – every one of us can do something today to create more equality now and for the generations to come,” she added.
The DIAL Global Virtual February Summit will be streamed live from today (10-11 February 2021) reaching over 250,000 people in 50 countries. Click here for more information on the speakers and agenda.
