Topics discussed during the session included learning how to recognise talent, sponsorship of talents, acknowledging that the office can be a safe haven. We also touched on topics such as how we can be first responders if an employee works in a violent home. Most importantly, the main takeaway from the event was on how we should be the voice of each other as an ally.
To end off the session, Sharon Brooks, Executive Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, INSEAD closed the session. It was an interactive session and the audience had a great time mingling post the session.
