Diversity is a term we hear a lot these day, but what do does it actually mean? And how do we embed it into the DNA of your organisations so it's not another tick box exercise?

Anna Engman, VP People and Culture, has been working with this very topic at Detectify and one of the things she did was conduct an internal diversity survey results of which are available publicly. A crucial element was to generate actionable insights for individual departments not just P&C. Apart from sharing the thinking behind and process of the survey, Anna talks about how to get stakeholders involved feeling comfortable with some of the potentially uncomfortable findings of such surveys, and how the people and culture department fits into and contributes to the success of an organisation.
