I am extremely delighted to host a workshop for Women Automotive Network on the 30th November with Karoline Kalt. We will talk about the great efforts being made at Vitesco Technologies to ensure a culture where every employee has a stake in #diversityequityandinclusion , led by our CDO Florencia Stanfield, the DE&I office including Courtney Carpineti and Eugenia Apolzan, and our amazing DE&I community. We are glad to represent our Women of Vitesco Technologies ERG and will be talking about the impact of DE&I on culture, business and self. Please register for the event to know more : https://bit.ly/46usF6b I came across a situation today that left me perplexed and inspired, because it validated the problem that is disparity. I am currently on vacation and traveling a lot. Today, while waiting for a train at a station that had both a ladies and a gents waiting room, I noticed that the men's room was bustling with men, but so was the ladies room! Many women were struggling to find a seat for themselves in the ladies waiting room as the seats were preoccupied by men. I tried to employ logical thinking before jumping to a conclusion. There were definitely a proportional number of women and men traveling. Then why did this scenario exist? I couldn't help but equate this scenario with the corporate world, where on the one hand there is agitation on having too many women-centric programs, however, despite all the programs, the disparity gets worse especially for the senior roles, in that the proportion of women in senior roles is usually not representative and much lower than the initial proportion of women in the workforce, which is not very promising to begin with. Regarding our ill-fated ladies room above, there was finally a police officer who happened to be a woman and noticed the situation. She brought about a swift change and made the appropriate seating situation possible, restoring my faith in able leadership and authority to bring a change, no matter the dismal state of the moment. I hope we all find and be the leaders who can inspire such change. We are doing our bit together with Women Automotive Network to hold important conversations on DE&I. Hope to see you there! #WomenofVitesco #vitescotechnologies #womeninautomotive #womeninleadership
