As racism and the movement for social justice permeated all aspects of society this year, employees across corporate America looked to their companies to take action. They wanted more diversity, greater inclusion and statements of support from leadership. Helene Silverman, Chair of the Inclusion & Diversity Steering Committee at Kantar in North America, felt that her colleagues needed something more. Thinking about the company mission: Understand People, Inspire Growth, Helene turned that inward to focus on employees and created a genuine safe space for employees to share, listen and help one another grow.
Beginning the week after the murder of George Floyd on May 27, her weekly “Safe Space Sharing Sessions” opened up a new kind of conversation among employees, about race and many other aspects of diversity and inclusion.
