On Leveraging Diversity & Inclusion for Performance - A Conversation with Emmanuelle Werner Gillioz

In today’s discussion, we continue the theme of inclusion with our next guest Emmanuelle Werner Gillioz, the founder and director of Yojoa. Yojoa is a nonprofit organisation that empowers young people with a migrant background to become autonomous and productive members of society. The mission is to bridge the gap between organisations and talented young people from diverse backgrounds in order to provide more opportunities and strengthen the company.
Listen to our conversation to hear the benefits of a diverse workforce from both angles.
Show Notes:
Emmanuelle shared that one of her favourite music artists is Stromae. An artist that she always listens to is Ibrahim Maalouf, the trumpet player and her favourite song is True Sorry. She also highly recommends the book, 40 Rules Of Love by Elif Shafak.
