Gauging the Pulse of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategies

The last few months have proved ample impetus for companies around the world to truly put their DEI efforts under the scanner and provide both transparency and accountability in walking the talk, delivering results and taking the lead in their industries. In a recent interview with Diversity Professional, Winston's Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Sylvia James gave her insights on Winston's initiatives. 

“At Winston, we have a Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy that is tailored to the unique priorities, culture and customs of the countries where we do business. Through our DEI program, we seek to raise awareness of and celebrate the full spectrum of diversity represented by our employees, including religious diversity. For example, to raise awareness about Ramadan, we created a video featuring some of our observing employees who discussed what Ramadan means to them and how they celebrate the holy month. Additionally, for employees needing a quiet place for prayer and meditation, we provide meditation rooms in some offices and wellness rooms in other offices that can be used for prayer.”
