How important is it for you to work in a diverse and inclusive environment?

"We are passionate about making the world more connected, inclusive and sustainable, and committed to creating a place where everyone can truly be themselves and belong. The best innovations happen when diverse people with different perspectives collaborate. Only when we harness the power of the different perspectives around us that we progress as an organisation; challenging the way we do things, and doing them better, not just for our customers, but our people and communities too. We understand how complex racial inequality is, and are equipping our colleagues to critically self-reflect, have impactful conversations together and collectively drive change. We focus on building awareness and allyship, addressing barriers to thriving, inclusive recruitment and partnerships to scale impact."

Consider the body language you want to convey when answering this question. Cultural competence requires openness and curiosity. Nonverbal indicators for these emotions are leaning in, tilting your head as you speak, smiling, and making eye contact. Signs of discomfort and avoidance could be interpreted as negative bias and antipathy. Such nonverbal cues include decreased positivity, less eye contact and more gaze aversion, fewer smiles, greater interpersonal distance, and increased blinking.

"I have done a lot of traveling and have lived abroad three times. I am passionate about increasing my cultural awareness and look forward to learning from those from different backgrounds than myself. This is quite important to me, as I credit my experiences so far as making me a better person. And as they say, the road to self-improvement is never-ending."
