In this podcast, we discussed the importance of diversity & inclusion. How does it apply to the Finnish context and what are the infrastructures in place to support DEI. Cultural diversity is often cited in the research as a catalyst for innovation, how can we benefit the most from a diverse workforce? Where does Finland position itself in the trend?
Tackling Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is becoming alarming with the current global mobility of talents. Together with our guest Priyanka Banerjee, we deep-dive into the subject from both a personal and professional perspective.
Priyanka Banerjee is the CEO and Co-founder of BusinessWiz, one of the leading B2B service providers for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) services in Nordics. She is one of the pioneers in bringing the concepts and benefits of diversity and inclusion to mainstream discussion and making them accessible to the leaders in Finland. As a DEI expert, she has worked with hundreds of leaders in the Nordics helping them analyze the current status of diversity & inclusion in their companies through data, creating strategies to improve employee retention and overall inclusion, strengthening the social sustainability scores for organizations, and providing inclusive leadership and learning programs for employees.
Priyanka is also one of the main organizer of the upcoming DEI Forum Nordics event organized in September (https://deiforumnordics.com/). The purpose of this conference is to change the conversation around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces. With this event, our goal is to create a truly inclusive and representative event, where people from different demographics can come together, share their voices openly, be recognized for their expertise, and can create an impact with their work. We want to create thought-provoking conversations around DEI and help people to get a deeper understanding of the topics.
