Episode Synopsis

Special Guest – Mita Mallick       Mita Mallick has spent over 15 years as a storyteller. Leading iconic brands like AVEENO, AVON Color Cosmetics, Chapstick, Vaseline, Suave, and Dove. Throughout her career, she has fought hard to ensure people like her are included. Ensuring black and brown people were represented in campaigns. Ensuring products Unilever created were for all skin tones. Ensuring Unilever was not reinforcing stereotypes. She believes the diversity of thought doesn’t happen without diversity of representation. When you have all those points of view, life experiences, and cultural backgrounds are coming together around a table. Colliding, clashing, and collaborating- that’s when the magic happens. Unilever has redefined how Diversity and Inclusion are embedded in a culture and brand.            Today's Podcast PerspectiveHow Mita got involved in Diversity and InclusionUnilever - what do Diversity and Inclusion mean to themBuilding a workforce changing with the changing demographics of the world and building the brands around themSuccessfully integrating D&I not only within the company but within their brandsLarge companies, how they can help leaders and managers on getting them engaged on the D&I JourneyUnilever has gone beyond Diversity as just the basic protected classes, how has Unilever consistently developed and recognized all peopleHow companies need to do things differently to be more inclusive in the workplaceReflecting on who people surround themselves with and the people they interact with every day and the limitations of diverse communities that may create bias.What is the best way to support working parents during this pandemic? GUEST INFORMATION! Mita Mallick Head of Diversity and Cross-Cultural Marketing Unilever https://www.linkedin.com/in/mita-mallick-2b165822/   GLINTER SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONTACT INFO [email protected] (Email) https://bit.ly/michaelglinter (Podcast) http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglinter2  (Linked In) #MichaelAGlinter (Twitter) http://www.facebook.com/michael.glinter  (Facebook) https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelGlinter  (YouTube) www.michaelglinter.com  (Website)
