What is your role at SII?
I have been working at SII Group headquarters since December 2018 as Diversity and Inclusion Manager. My role is to coordinate initiatives at the national level, in collaboration with representatives in each agency. These representatives play an essential role in supporting our employees on a daily basis to ensure an inclusive working environment.
Which Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mission project is particularly close to your heart?
Among the many projects, I am particularly fond of meetings with inspiring individuals with disabilities. These exchanges, organised in the form of ‘Lives’ accessible to all our employees, have a significant impact. They raise awareness among a wide audience and change perceptions about disability in the workplace. These moments of sharing always receive very positive feedback from our employees. It is important to remember that disability is an integral part of corporate life because the company is a reflection of the society in which we live.
Alongside these awareness-raising activities, what are the other objectives of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mission?
Our mission aims to promote a comprehensive vision of diversity in the workplace by extending our actions to all areas of non-discrimination and professional equality. This includes continuing initiatives in favour of people with disabilities, but also actions to prevent discrimination, strengthen gender equality, and support our LGBT+ employees.
