Listening to colleagues in Australia
We asked MindTribes, an external firm specialising in DEI audits, to assess the working culture experienced by employees at three Nissan Australia sites. To do so, they conducted a series of executive interviews, hosted five 90-minute listening sessions attended by 75 colleagues and individually interviewed 13 female colleagues. Based on the findings, we have now allocated a dedicated budget for increasing our DEI maturity in Australia and will continue to work with MindTribes on designing and delivering a roadmap for change.
Building empathy and empowerment in Europe
"In our regional office, our Disability Day workshop provided a hands-on opportunity for employees to experience what it would feel like to live with disabilities. This helped raise awareness of the challenges colleagues may face and inspired attendees to consider how we can adapt our working practices to make them feel empowered and included at work. We also hosted a Women’s Leadership speaker event in which three top female executives debated key leadership issues in front of a live audience of employees. Topics include seizing professional opportunities, achieving the right work-life balance and the importance of trusting in oneself to succeed. „
Gender balance in the Middle East
Nissan Middle East signed the UAE Gender Balance Pledge aimed at accelerating gender balance in the UAE private sector and increasing the representation of women in leadership roles to 30% by 2025. More broadly, we will continue to champion gender diversity in the region while eliminating the barriers to women’s advancement - both within our own business and the automotive industry as a whole.
