Global DEI-practitioners network
Do you want to strengthen your role in the company's diversity and inclusion strategy and practical efforts? This network offers you insights, peer support, and hands-on experience with diversity initiatives.
Working globally with diversity and inclusion is a complex and exciting task, made even more complicated by the American anti-DEI presidential decrees. At the same time, it's a task often carried out by few employees and with limited resources within the organization, which can feel both lonely and exposed.
In this network, we address how we can work with DEI in a manner that considers both global and local aspects, while also supporting and caring for you as a DEI-dedicated individual, to prevent burnout.
Who is the network aimed at?
This network is designed for you who are responsible for implementing and conducting DEI-activities at a global scale. You will become part of a community with other DEI-practitioners where focus will be on sharing knowledge and experience. You are part of a global company, based in Denmark, and with DEI-activities across different countries and regions. If your focus is on DEI in a Danish or Nordic context, our Danish DEI-network might be of interest for you.
The network is theme based, covering an area of DEI-knowledge each time, and will consist of a mix between presentations from experts, knowledge sharing and discussions. Themes are decided collectively with the members and can, for instance, involve:
- Designing and conducting DEI-processes with a global mindset - How to work with change management and DEI-processes that can be integrated and implemented at different levels across global regions
- ERG’s and DEI-ambassadors - How to train, engage and empower DEI-ambassadors and ERG’s with different national and cultural prerequisites. How to work bottom-up, manage at distance and align with global strategy.
- Trends, development and legislation - How do we navigate uncertainties and a changing DEI-landscape? What are the newest trends, developments and legislation that we should be aware of (DK, EU, US)?
- DEI-self care - Working with DEI can be a lonely and sometimes isolated task and risk of burnout is high. How do we take care of ourselves as DEI-practitioners?
- Perspectives from minority groups, e.g. LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, ethnic minorities.
In the network of like-minded people, we have the opportunity to share how we turn high ambitions into action and real impact in everyday life. One could almost say that the network becomes a highly valued, competent external colleague you can always rely on. Sara Lynge Skovhede, Global DEI Lead at Novonesis
