Towards Global Citizenship: Cultivating Cultural Intelligence
The sounds of waves washing over a beach was a refreshing change from almost 6 months of being locked-down
Traditional approach to diversity and inclusion is top-down where employers run surveys, facilitate diversity and inclusion trainings and set goals to hire employees from diverse background. This approach doesn't change fundamental beliefs and culture. For example, in some industries men are judged for taking parental leave or flexible work arrangements.
What we suggest is to launch employee led circles to create space for open discussions and share experiences. This will involve employees at grass root level change.
Design employee experience, policies and initiatives for diverse workforce by observing needs surfaced from the discussions within circles.

Contact Melbourne Lean In team to know more about our company program and how we can help achieve your diversity and inclusion goal.
Whether your objective is to support, retain, or mentor your women employees—here’s how our free Circles program can help you achieve your organizational goals.
Circles encourage members to discuss new ideas and practice new skills together. Members also benefit from the insights and expertise of their peers, which can be just as effective as traditional mentor-mentee relationships. Women who are part of Circles are also more likely to offer to mentor.

Women who participate in Circles are more likely to think that their company is doing what it takes to improve gender diversity and more likely to talk openly about gender issues in the workplace. Companies can design employee experience, by observing needs surfaced from the discussions within circles.

Circles are small groups of women who come together regularly to mentor and support each other. Right now, Circles are meeting virtually to support each other through the Covid-19 crisis—by connecting over shared experiences, giving and receiving advice, and problem-solving together. Circles are active in over 180 countries and more than 3000 companies are running them for their women employees, including P&G, Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Airbnb.
