“Mångfald ger fler perspektiv och det ger bättre lösningar, och dessutom högre lönsamhet och tillväxt.” - Sofia Götmar-Blomstedt
Veckans avsnitt gästas av Sofia Götmar-Blomstedt, vd för PwC Sverige och en av vd:arna i den andra omgången av CEOs for D&I. I detta avsnitt delar Sofia med sig av sin och PwC:s resa mot mångfald och inkludering (D&I).
Som medlem i CEOs for D&I kommer Sofia också att berätta om sitt D&I-arbete på scen tillsammans med de andra vd:arna I programmet, under vårt kommande digitala symposium "En inkluderande arbetsmarknad 2023" den 23 mars. Läs mer och anmäl dig här: https://mittliv.com/en/webinars-events-courses/an-inclusive-labour-market-2023/
D&I handlar om människors lika värde och det har drivit Sofia att jobba aktivt med dessa frågor. För att komma igång med D&I arbetet, handlar det om att skapa medvetenhet kring det först, och därefter vara väldigt tydlig med mål och konsekvenser berättar Sofia. Vidare delar hon hur viktigt det är med ett långsiktigt och hållbart perspektiv och att alltid fråga sig själv som företag hur man bidrar till ett bättre samhälle. Även om man leverar på lönsamhet, så behöver man lika mycket bidra till mångfald och inkludering.
Sofia delar att hon tror att bolag som inte jobbar med D&I, och inte tar samhällsansvar, inte kommer att kunna attrahera rätt kompetens eller fortsätta vara relevanta I framtiden. För att börja jobba med D&I är det viktigaste första steget att fundera på varför det är viktigt att göra det, och att försöka prioritera ett mer inkluderande perspektiv.
