What does diversity and inclusion mean for you?
It seems that everyone is talking about diversity and inclusion. But what do these values mean in a work context? Four GF employees from different regions share their personal views.
Rachel Greasby:
“I love the culture that comes with inclusion, people can come to work feeling comfortable and confident to be themselves, and work in a way that suits them and the needs of the business. Diversity brings different ideas to the table, positive and challenging diverse views to make a better workplace and lead to success.”
Irina Frost:
“I love working at GF, as it may be the most diverse company I have ever worked for in my career! Diversity at work is a source of inspiration, energy and openness that enables us to discuss ideas, solve problems and share values. At GF, we have built a culture of respect and an environment in which everyone can thrive and succeed.”
Steven Zhao:
“It expanded my horizons. We can get inspired by communicating and cooperating with people with different professional backgrounds. An inclusive workspace is one where everybody can make the most of their strengths. We can give advice or get help on an equal footing.”
Carrie Schaller:
“Diversity and inclusion means that there is acceptance and freedom in my work and my workspace. This means I feel no shame about who I am or what I do. GF’s culture around these values not only allows me to have a better working environment, but also helps me to innovate, as I feel safe in my environment and supported by my peers. ”
