Nielsen is committed to building diverse and inclusive environments in our offices around the globe. Our employee resource groups (ERGs) play a key role in fostering this culture, and we recently expanded this network with the addition of a ninth ERG to the Nielsen family. MOSAIC (Multinational Organization Supporting an Inclusive Culture) launched this month in our Oxford, U.K., office. With associates in this office identifying with 57 nationalities, MOSAIC recognizes and celebrates the breadth of perspectives and backgrounds of our associates.
“Nielsen has recognized that the empowerment and amplification of diverse voices and perspectives is a necessary step to ensure we, as well as our clients, keep pace with a diversifying world population,” said Petra Tileschova, Global Audit & Compliance and MOSAIC lead. “The creation of MOSAIC, in one of Nielsen’s most diverse offices, is a demonstration of our commitment to cultivating an inclusive environment where associates from around the world feel comfortable bringing their diverse backgrounds to the workplace.”
그룹 출범을 기념하는 행사의 일환으로 MOSAIC은 내셔널 다이버시티 어워드의 크리에이터 폴 세세이, 코업 그룹의 폴라 바클레이 고문, 로열 뱅크 오브 스코틀랜드의 전략적 파트너십 이사 헤더 멜빌 등 외부 다양성 전문가 3명을 초청했습니다. 또한 참석자들은 닐슨의 최고 다양성 책임자인 안젤라 탈튼(Angela Talton)과 영국 및 아일랜드의 인사 책임자이자 MOSAIC의 임원 스폰서인 캐시 얼(Cathy Earle)로부터 다양성과 포용성을 위한 닐슨의 글로벌 전략에 대해 들을 수 있는 기회도 가졌습니다.
To ensure Nielsen is seen as an employer of choice for diverse recruitment candidates, MOSAIC members are working to connect their work with their communities and proactively engage with new hires to help them in navigate other local cultures and languages. MOSAIC also plans to hold cross-cultural and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education events at local universities and schools.
“Nielsen’s global presence demands a global diversity strategy,” said Sherri Dublin, Vice President, Diversity Programs. “Our ERGs not only allow our associates to experience Nielsen D&I [diversity and inclusion] up close, but they also provide a direct link to the communities where we live and work. As our network of ERGs continues to grow, so do the opportunities for our associates to grow within Nielsen, connect with their colleagues and clients, and personally engage in fostering an inclusive culture.”
MOSAIC’s creation comes on the heels of another ERG global launch in Shanghai last spring, Nielsen Generation (N-GEN). These two groups represent the expanding global footprint of Nielsen’s diversity and inclusion strategy.
