Embarking on the expatriation journey is both challenging and rewarding, but it requires high doses of self-awareness, communication, and compassion.

The Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (ASIFMA), the region’s leading financial industry group, and Egon Zehnder, the world’s preeminent leadership advisory firm, today launched the results of their survey “ASIFMA-Egon Zehnder Diagnostic 20201 Diversity and Inclusion Ambitions and Practices in APAC”. The survey was conducted in May to June 2021 among both buy and sell-side member firms of ASIFMA and covering 13 markets in Asia.  The respondent firms represent over USD 646.9 billion in market capitalization and over 246,748 employees in Asia with global headquarters in the US, Europe and APAC.

Women are still deeply under-represented in Product leadership. We sat down with Women In Product’s CEO, Elizabeth Ames, to discuss the issues facing women in this market and how businesses can acquire top talent.

Egon Zehnder were delighted to welcome a group of HR Directors to an intimate gathering to discuss their perspectives, the challenges faced and possible interventions on the topic of Ethnic Diversity.

Out Leadership Founder Todd Sears is joined by two phenomenal leaders, Lisa Blais, who leads the US Board Practice for Egon Zehnder, and pioneering LGBTQ+ leader and Board Director Beth Brooke, who was newly named to the New York Times Board.

Examining psychological safety, why it boosts performance, and why it matters.

As global leadership advisors, we see first-hand that the coming out experience is a transformative leadership moment. Whether you come out early in life or later, it is a time of deep self-exploration and reflection that requires great courage. It necessitates taking a risk that only those who have gone through it can understand. It is this experience of coming out and embracing the life experiences gained through being LGBTQ+ that we believe can empower LGBTQ+ leaders to tap into their full potential.

Carol Kauffman and Cynthia Soledad, co-lead of Egon Zehnder’s global DE&I Practice discuss how the landscape has changed for corporate DE&I work in the past year, how coaches and DE&I practitioners can help unlock growth in inclusive leadership skill, and how this connects to organizational development in DE&I.

As companies broaden their definitions of DE&I, they will increasingly view it as imperative to their business success.

A guide to handling difficult and sensitive topics in the workplace that will help drive progress that will move us to a more equitable world.
