In November 2022, Talent collaborated with Zalando to host a Roundtable event in Berlin, focusing on how to embed DEI within an organisation. Over 60 people from a range of companies attended with multiple discussion topics covered. The event was a great success and fostered insightful discussion, collaboration and shared experiences.

This Roundtable brought together a range of DEI, HR and Talent Acquisition professionals to discuss the challenges of authentically embedding DEI within an organisation. Attendees discussed important topics in groups, each facilitated by an expert in the space. Discussion topics were:

– How can we ensure that DEI stays a priority in all economic times? 

– How can your organisation engage internally with DEI? And how do you think this could be impacting your company according to its size? 

– How can we collect DEI-related data and address the obstacles in measuring DEI metrics? 

– What kind of DEI policies and practices does your organisation have in place? And how might these affect retention?

Challenges and solutions for all topics were discussed, with plenty of actionable tips and advice coming to light. Guests were able to share their insights and stories in a safe, confidential and inclusive space, helping create a truly inspiring and collaborative environment where new friendships and connections were made.
