Life Lessons and Guiding Principles to Embrace
ASI, a forward-thinking company, is committed to fostering a workplace that values equality, inclusion, understanding, awareness, respect, and community. The company's dedication to these principles is not limited to words but is embodied in its actions.
In a significant move, ASI's annual Day ON of Service, previously held in honour of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, has been shifted to the Fall. This change reflects ASI's ongoing commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion throughout the year.
ASI's initiatives towards real change and genuine understanding are ongoing, inviting participation from all employees. One such initiative is the launch of a new Diversity and Inclusion blog, a long-term effort to uphold fairness and inclusion. This blog serves as a platform for open discussions, learning, and growth.
The four-part series of discussions on racism and injustice, initiated by ASI, received agreement from 75% of polled employees that it was a good use of their time. This series underscores ASI's commitment to including and hearing as many different voices as possible in all its initiatives.
ASI recognizes the importance of continuous learning and growth in promoting diversity and inclusion. The company acknowledges the need for continuous improvement, both as a company and within the industry. ASI is committed to doing hard work and including as many diverse voices as possible.
In line with this commitment, ASI is reviving its Diversity and Inclusion Council with new members and activities tailored for the work-from-home situation. This council encourages participation from people of colour and employees with diverse backgrounds, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
ASI's Diversity and Inclusion efforts are not limited to these initiatives. The company has a list of accomplishments in promoting diversity and inclusion within the company. By working together, ASI aims to help shape a better world for all.
On February 23, ASI organised an all-company discussion led by Dr. George James, titled "How to be an Ally at all Levels; Anti-racism and Beyond." This event was a testament to ASI's dedication to promoting anti-racism and fostering a culture of inclusivity.
ASI acknowledges that the journey towards a more inclusive and equitable workplace is ongoing. The company is committed to doing the hard work and invites all employees to join in this journey. By working together, ASI believes it can make a difference and help create a world where everyone feels valued and heard.
