A successful diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategy can help organizations make the best use of their resources to achieve real progress in creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace and work culture.
To design a successful DEI strategy, DEI leaders should focus on key building blocks such as securing leadership commitment, defining clear goals and metrics and ensuring employee engagement.
Zain operates one of the most comprehensive DEI programs in the Middle East. Since its introduction, Zain’s DEI initiative has become a key part of the fabric of the company, transforming how it hires, plans for succession, develops its people, and ultimately creates a vibrant and inclusive culture.
Recently, Zain has been recognized as having the 'Best Diversity & Inclusion Strategy' in the Middle East at the Future Workplace Awards 2022, held in Dubai on 15 November, organized by the UK based Informa Connect, a member of the FTSE 100.
In this session, we discussed how Pulsely helped Zain bring their DEI strategy to the next level with a data-centric approach and science-backed framework.
