What is Inclusion in the Workplace? ... inclusion is defined separately from diversity as “the achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization's success.” But how can an organisation achieve this? By imposing top down programmes for all employees, or encouraging initiatives that are built up by employees who feel invested in what they are trying to achieve? Not surprisingly perhaps Vodafone has gone for the latter approach.
Shivani Sondhi and Céline Keating both work at Vodafone in very different roles, but in their free time work together with other colleagues on projects close to their heart.
Celine is head of the Vodafone Foundation
Lisa spoke to both women about the initiative Green Light for Girls that encourages girls to enter STEM, as well as other initiatives at Vodafone Luxembourg.
