measure what you can , and learn step by step is the best approach .
What does the next 12-18 months look like to you when it comes to D & I ?
SM : For us , it is about building on progress . Capgemini is committed to increasing the diversity of our workforce and have made ESG commitments including reaching 40 % women in our teams , and 30 % of female exec leaders . Yet gender representation is only one piece of the puzzle , we are focused on broader diversity and equity goals , and we are working to strengthen our culture through multiple pathways including leadership models , D & I training , ERGs , allyship , and much more .
AL : At Thoughtworks , our goals for the next 12-24 months are looking at how we reduce voluntary attrition , increase diverse representation and improve engagement for people from underrepresented communities . We do this against the continuing backdrop of remote and hybrid working , which itself has raised a number of DEI issues that need attention – from supporting parents and carers to the problems of presenteeism .
