MIoD advances on its Diversity & Inclusion Agenda

In line with the Women’s Directors Forum’s mandate, the MIoD in collaboration with Dale Carnegie Mauritius and Ceridian Mauritius organised, this week, a two-day workshop on Diversity and Inclusion: Cultural Awareness and Competency programme with Mark Fitzmaurice, Master Trainer of Dale Carnegie. The MIoD remains committed to promote wider participation of women in boardrooms and C-Suite level. Around 80 business leaders joined the workshop during the two days.

In her welcoming speech, Sheila Ujoodha, CEO of the MIoD stated the following: “This workshop, in collaboration with Dale Carnegie Mauritius and our esteemed Patron, Ceridian Mauritius, is an integral part of the MIoD’s commitment to best corporate governance practices more specifically diversity and inclusion, with a view to increasing the participation of women in Boards and at C-suite levels. In fact, our holistic approach to this broad topic started in 2021, with the launch of the Women Directors Forum and the women leadership academy. Allow me to salute the WDF members, who are helping the MIoD to shape future leaders equipped with necessary tools to make a difference at C-suite and board level. The more diverse and inclusive the C suite team is, the more diverse and inclusive the board is, this yields better results not only for the company but the society at large.” The CEO of the MIoD proudly shared that 139 women leaders have embarked on a ‘Path to Boardroom’ journey, under the aegis of MIoD’s different programs.
