AIWF x Pfizer Session II: Mainstreaming and embedding DEI into hospital and healthcare working spaces, cultures and practices

The Arab International Women’s Forum and Pfizer are proud to be co-hosting the second session in our high-level virtual panel series in March 2023, as part of our collaboration titled ‘D&I by Design: Women’s Leadership & Legacy in Health’ which launched in December 2022.

In 2022-2023, AIWF and Pfizer will collaborate on a virtual panel series exploring salient diversity issues impacting women’s inclusion in global and MENA health. Following our inaugural session held in December 2022, the second panel event in the series will take place as a Zoom webinar on 09 March 2022 at 12:00 UK / 16:00 UAE. In this session, a high-level D&I panel will explore the importance of mainstreaming and embedding DEI into healthcare working spaces and cultures. Specifically, we will discuss:

- Encouraging equal representation in hiring and promotion processes;
- Providing diversity and inclusion training for employees;
- Implementing flexible work arrangements for women and families;
- Offering mentorship and sponsorship programs;
- Encouraging open communication and creating a safe space for diverse perspectives;
- Celebrating and promoting the achievements of diverse employees; and
- Evaluating and addressing unconscious bias in policies and practices.

Through this initiative, AIWF and Pfizer aim to create a positive and impactful platform to develop the next generation of women leaders in health, mainstreaming a powerful shift in workplace culture towards true gender parity and encouraging both corporate policy change as well as a decisive shift in the narrative on women’s leadership in health.
