Each year for the month of March, the world celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. At dentsu X, we value our strong female leadership that have paved the way to building strong and meaningful connections across the industry and with consumers on behalf of our clients. We are committed to continuing to broaden our perspectives to build a safe and inclusive workplace for all, and we amplify the voices of those with diverse experiences to foster an environment free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Breaking the bias means empowering the next generation to see their true potential in the workplace. A workplace that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
To celebrate women’s history month, we asked our leaders to give examples of how they #BreakTheBias, encourage leadership and allyship and help forge a more equitable future.
How can you #BreakTheBias to help forge an inclusive workplace?
“The past two years have enabled us to bring more of our true selves to work. I will continue to champion for authenticity and empathy in the workplace and #BreakTheBias that your professional and personal selves need to be two different people.”
- Leah Meranus, Chief Media Officer
“I #BreakTheBias by being conscious of implicit bias and encouraging conversations around bias and allyship in meetings.”
- Laurie Baskin, SVP, Client Services
How do you build support structures for women who are aspiring executives/agents of change?
“With intent and purpose. Building support for others doesn’t just happen; it takes deliberate action. Mentoring and coaching is a start; sponsorship, policy and culture make it last.”
- Leah Meranus, Chief Media Officer
