Even as companies are accelerating their DEI journeys, there is empirical and anecdotal data on employees continuing to feel not valued and included. It is not the mathematics that draw up real inclusion. It is the exchange of human values, stories, lived experiences that make an everlasting impact. To recognize such inspiring managers and leaders as part of this year's POI conference, we instituted awards for being the best in the categories of mentors, sponsors, and ERG leaders. To these leaders influencing and enabling inclusion is a way of life and as allies they help every individual they are connected to, to rise to their fullest potential. This I would say is the Power of an Individual towards unveiling the diversity possibilities."Award winners (category wise):Best ERG Leader - LGBTQ+: Winner Julien Brain, Director, Global AWS Programs & Global LGBTQ+ Charter Lead, WiproBest ERG Leader - LGBTQ+: Choice of Jury - ERG Leader LGBTQ+ Ali Khan, Global Head - Governance, Risk & Compliance, ZS Associates India Pvt.
