This March, as we commemorate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we take this opportunity to recognize the remarkable contributions of the women at Oliver Wyman. This year’s theme, “Inspiring Inclusion And Unleashing Potential”, aligns perfectly with our commitment to empowering the incredible women within our organization.
What does this mean in practice? Let’s delve into the unique narratives of our colleagues who #InspireInclusion and unlock potential in their own remarkable way.
To truly foster a culture of inclusion, we must go beyond merely avoiding exclusionary behaviors. We need to inspire individuals to actively embrace diversity and create an environment in which everyone feels valued and respectedChristian Edelmann, Managing Partner, Co-Head of Europe
Inspire Inclusion emphasizes the importance of increasing representation and diversity in leadership roles. We can do this by changing the seats at the table – or adding seats – to make more room for women’s perspectives. This alters the dialogue and decision-making process, reducing unconscious bias and groupthink. When we change the discussion and culture at the top, it cascades to the rest of the organizationTerry Stone, Managing Partner, Americas
