Cultural resilience is the ability of companies, teams, and individuals to deal with change and continue to develop. Naturally, a diverse staff is a company’s biggest asset: Employees bringing in their individual and varied strengths improve workflows, processes, and creativity in every division. But how can managers and teams fortify their cultural resilience? To help better understand why cultural resilience is so important in the work environment, we checked in with our teams from multicultural India.

One person cannot be missing from the “Nominate Your Diversity Champion” campaign: Sima Dor-Hay. As a member of BSH’s Diversity Core Team, she actively fosters Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (short: DEI) in her daily work and knows how much we can learn from the perspective of others. Being an empathetic person, Sima’s strengths are to walk in someone else’s shoes, feeling what others feel and building bridges to unite people. In the interview, she also shares the power of diversity and how everyone of us can promote DEI.

Wearing a yellow outfit for a professional group photo while everyone else is wearing black – if standing out at work seems simple to you, it can be a sign that you work in a diverse and healthy work environment. However, not in all companies individuality and differences are encouraged as a part of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (short: DEI) strategy. BSH launched the campaign “Nominate Your Diversity Champion” to create visibility for each colleague who fosters these values as part of their daily occupation. Today, we present the interview with one of our nominees, Annabelle Cao, Head of Human Resources Greater China, about the importance of psychological safety for our teams.
