Diversity and inclusion have become buzzwords in the business world over the past few years, and while the conversation is important, we need to move beyond words and into actions that bring about real change.
Workplaces have a responsibility to represent and support the diversity and talent in the world, and create a space where everyone can thrive. This work is not a one-off effort. Positive and systemic change, both in the workplace and in the world, requires consistent, concerted and proactive effort.
Over the past year at Google South Africa we have focused on five key areas to ensure that we are not only an employer of choice for top talent, but that we have a lasting impact in the communities we operate in, and respond to the needs of our users.
