International Women’s Day 2024: QX’s Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Today, Wednesday 8 March, is International Women’s Day. It’s a poignant time to reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion in today’s ever-evolving landscape. At QX Global Group, we’re not just discussing these vital issues; we’re actively embedding them into our core operations and culture.

The Imperative of Diversity and Inclusion

In a world marked by rapid changes in technology, society, and the environment, leveraging diverse perspectives, experiences, and ideas is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Diversity at QX is not about meeting quotas or adhering to political correctness; it’s about enriching our problem-solving capabilities and innovation through varied viewpoints.

Our People-Centric Strategy

We firmly believe that our strength is our people. Creating an environment where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered is at the heart of our mission. This commitment to building an inclusive and equitable workplace ensures that all employees, regardless of their gender or background, have the opportunity to excel and contribute meaningfully.

Progress Towards Gender Equity

At QX, we’re proud of the strides we’ve made in achieving a balanced gender ratio, currently standing at 63:37. Yet, our journey doesn’t end here. We’re on a mission to reach a 60:40 ratio, striving to mirror the diversity of the world around us within our organization.

Turning Commitment into Action

This Women’s Day, our actions underscore our dedication to gender equity. In Mumbai, we’ve initiated a Skill Development Program for aspiring women entrepreneurs, providing them with essential resources and mentorship. In Noida, we’re addressing a critical health need by distributing hygiene packs to women in under-served communities. And in Vadodara, we have sponsored the transportation of specially-abled children from their homes to a school run by a woman entrepreneur.

Living Our Values

As we commemorate International Women’s Day, we urge our community and peers to embrace practical steps towards enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion:

Model Inclusion: Demonstrate support for women’s achievements and foster opportunities for women to lead and contribute significantly.
Practice Active Listening: Value the experiences and perspectives of women, acting on their insights to enhance our workplace.
Foster Open Dialogues: Create environments where discussions about gender equality and inclusion are encouraged and valued.
Mindful Communication: Adopt language that promotes inclusivity and respects all genders.
Value Diversity: Celebrate the diverse contributions of women, recognizing their unique perspectives as a source of strength and innovation.

Looking to the Future

As QX continues to evolve, our commitment to diversity and inclusion remains steadfast. By embracing change and supporting each other, we can foster a culture where women’s achievements are celebrated not just annually, but as an integral part of our daily ethos.

As we look ahead, we’re excited about the collective growth, innovation, and positive change we can achieve. Let’s make this year a testament to our commitment to making QX a beacon of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
