Vontobel Diversity & Inclusion Week
Published on 01.06.2023 CEST
In 26 various formats, with around 40 speakers and over 680 registrations our Vontobel employees and managers attended interesting discussions, explored new perspectives, got inspired and learned more about Diversity and Inclusion at the Workplace and our Vontobel initiatives and offerings around D&I.
Various workshops and bottom-up dialogues with colleagues took place locally and virtually, which gave us food for thought and which will help us to move forward on our D&I journey at Vontobel.
There was a high level of interest from expatriate colleagues to contribute to the Vontobel culture via the Bottom-up Workshops where some topics to discuss were:
- How can we better integrate foreign colleagues and locations into the Vontobel culture and learn even more from each other
- How do we ensure that everyone is heard in meetings? (Simple tip: give everyone equal speaking time).
