    Hi Deborah

    How do you define “well-being” in the context of performance, and why is it crucial for overall success?

For example, if we skip on sleep, eat poorly, don’t manage our stress well then we simply do not have access to the cognitive resources necessary to think strategically and logically – they go…[Read more]

    Hi Deborah,

    Can you give some examples of organizations that have successfully integrated wellness into their corporate strategy and seen positive results?

There are apps that have been introduced to support mental health, programmes to support physical health and a variety of healthcare facilities delivered in-house. There are all valid and important, however, there are two areas that…[Read more]

    Successful organizations are taking a more holistic approach that’s designed to encourage a DEI-oriented mindset among employees at all levels of the organization and infuse DEI thinking into the business’s goals, teams, and programs.

    I have shared steps to follow in case some of you are keen and charged with the responsibility to manifest equity within your organization. Simple steps to follow but do it by DESIGN and not accidentally.

    @ritu what has been your highlight/ success story of the work you drove inside TCS regards the DEI agenda?

    • Any thoughts on how to sustain this when the CEO / CXO’s are not too focused or stop focusing on it? How can DEI lead/ HR still build enough momentum to drive this agenda successfully?

    Given how important DEI is to a company’s performance, it’s not surprising some companies turn to diversity quotas to validate their DEI commitment. Yet it’s becoming clearer that over reliance on quotas may harm the very DEI efforts they’re meant to improve. Quotas can be difficult to implement with sensitivity, they can generate resentm…[Read more]

    • Completely agree @Ritu, Quotas do more damage than help the DEI agenda within organizations. Creates more friction between groups, leads to cliques which are more harmful to the organization. Quotas only help tick off the Diversity agenda to show off to Boards, Shareholders etc. and not the actual hardwork needed for genuine
      inclusion
