Save the date! On Wednesday, June 2nd from 10 am – 11:30 am CET, five DEI experts will gather to discuss practical, concrete situations and solutions for businesses – and you can join! Registration for virtual attendance is now open, and you can sign up here!
- The DEI Roundtable & Panel Discussion led by Mercer and Girls Are Awesome features the following panelists:
- Lise Andersen Linnebjerg, Senior Director, Global Talent Acquisition Vestas (NEW)
- Dennis Daugaard Andersen, HR Director, Central & North Europe, KONE
- Niels Fibæk-Jensen, CEO and Co-founder, Matter
- Thandi Dyani, Head of Partnerships, Girls Are Awesome
…all in conversation with Lea Lønsted, Head of DEI Consulting from Mercer.
Panelists will discuss the advantages of taking a more holistic approach and consider DEI as a whole – creating a fundamental change and embedding it into your company culture. They will also discuss which barriers companies are facing, and how leaders can create an environment where they can:
- challenge existing assumptions and hypothesis
- confront the myths of meritocracy
- uproot the inherent privileges possessed by some employee groups
- build strong, transparent and honest communication on DEI initiatives, progress and strategy
There is a call for more actively engaging with both internal and external stakeholders. Especially young(er) people are more critical when it comes to authentic communication and will expect companies to communicate progress – and not necessarily perfection.
