What is Diversity Architecture?
Diversity Architecture is about breaking down traditional organizational silos. It's not a standalone initiative confined to HR or a diversity department. Instead, it's a holistic approach that influences every facet of our organization. From recruitment to leadership, from product development to marketing, diversity is embedded across departments and functions. Diversity Architecture outlines a blueprint for leadership that recognizes the strength in differences. It's not merely a policy; it's a commitment from the top to foster an environment where diverse voices are not only heard but valued.
