LEWAS Amplified

Equality vs Equity; is there a difference? The equity and equality conversation can get a little muddled.

We speak to Lean In Network Energy’s Founder & CEO, Denise Mannix and Dr. Jennifer Shepard, Industrial & Organisational Psychologist, D&I Specialist, Aramco on some of the blindspots and how can companies overcome them.

Besides making a positive contribution to society, how can companies ensure employee morale, improved company culture, and most importantly, swift growth in skillset amongst the younger workforce? Hear the two experts, Mujahed AlSayouhi, Organization Performance Advisor at Saudi Aramco, and Mette Hersby, Leadership Succession Manager at Shell discuss their perspectives of Gen Z at work.

Coming to work unfiltered and expecting your colleagues to accept your true self could misfire. At the same time, hiding your authenticity at work can form meaningless relationships that can hold back professional growth.

Experiences diverge greatly depending on personal situations – such as space, childcare responsibilities, the nature of the job itself, and individual temperaments.”
