The culture we create together honors that the dimensions of diversity are vast and intersecting, and that means we all have something in common, something unique to contribute, and something to seek out in others. That is the magic of creating an environment that includes all people and perspectives. When it happens, it makes us all better. We grow and learn from each other. We have become more robust and more innovative.
A diverse and inclusive culture takes effort and intention. At Destina1, it’s a priority, and we’ll never stop doing what it takes to keep moving forward. As with any priority, it requires strategic action and habits in our personal and professional lives. We know these are small steps. We are listening and learning about what more we can do and how to be better.
Starting at the top, our highest levels of leadership are walking the talk and championing an inclusive, welcoming culture. Our leadership is passionate about helping employees expand their knowledge and perspectives, learn more about others, and offer diverse perspectives and ideas.
D1 is a family on so many levels, and we will keep finding new ways to support employees personally and professionally – empowering everyone to be their authentic selves and reach their full potential. We’re listening, working together to do the right thing, and asking ourselves daily if we do those things for all.
We are amplifying new educational resources and training for everyone to be part of the solution, including new and expanded partnerships to fill our talent pipeline. We’re taking the data to heart – to help ensure diverse representation at all levels through community engagement, recruitment and hiring, and employee development and promotions.
As a global company whose founding premise is "Enhancing Health, Lifestyle, and Community," Destina1 has long recognized that diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical to our success. Our founder, Dato' Sri Dr. Barani Karunakaran, is a pioneer in bringing people from all walks of life together in an inclusive way. Today, we want the same for our employees.
