2. Diversity –
a wake-up call
The Indian workplace today has an
exciting mix of people from varied
backgrounds, with different thinking,
attitudes, needs, and work styles.
This offers great benefits of intellectual
capital, innovation, better customer
relations, and a healthier bottomline.
However, leveraging the skills of
culturally and socially-different people,
geographically disparate teams, and
a generationally- and gender-varied
workforce calls for sensitive leadership.
At Interweave, we bring the necessary
expertise to understand the challenges
and help make Diversity & Inclusion
(D&I) a competitive edge for you.

A premier digital media multinational understands diversity better
As a first step to D&I, Interweave helped the organisation with an
inclusion survey to arrive at specific areas for intervention. The survey identified
some interesting aspects that had not been addressed. We presented the leadership
team with a plan of action to cover these.
A large international banking corporation builds flexible work options
The multi-national bank wanted to encourage managers and employees to use
flexible work arrangements. The challenge was to change the mindsets around
this. Interweave held separate sessions with managers and employees across
locations. The company acknowledged Interweave’s support in making this a
successful initiative.
A large, global manufacturer of computers becomes gender-friendly
The company wanted to drive gender sensitivity, organisation-wide. Interweave
worked with the team to arrive at a customised module, piloted the same, and refined
it further to make it an internal programme. It is independently delivered today.
A global technology and innovations company manages maternity at work
The large organisation sought to manage maternity issues at work in a more sensitive
and professional manner. Interweave stepped in to provide know-how and initiatives,
so that maternity can be managed in a planned and mutually-rewarding way.
A large financial services MNC helps employees appreciate inclusion
Interweave partnered with the organisation to facilitate several new initiatives in D&I,
starting with basic compliance to workshops for senior leaders to building internal
capability for sustaining the efforts.
