Global Initiatives

DE&I Week / DE&I Day / DE&I Talk

We held the first Diversity and Inclusion Talk event (later renamed the DE&I Talk) in 2020, which was streamed simultaneously to worldwide TEL Group employees. The DE&I Day event was added in 2022, followed by the DE&I Week in 2024, all of which are being held regularly.
These events feature speeches on diverse topics by TEL’s project leaders and external experts. During the DE&I Week, TEL Group companies in respective countries implement original programs.
TEL will continue to support these initiatives, to enable employees taking interest in and learning more about DE&I, as well as take appropriate actions in the workplace to influence others.

DE&I Talk Participants (2020)

DE&I Talk

The DE&I Talk is an annual event in which experts on a given theme are invited as presenters. TEL employees can participate in any sessions that interest them. Previous themes covered a lot of ground including: the benefits of diversity on individuals and the organization; psychological security in the workplace; the importance of equity; and LGBTQ+.
Online roundtable discussions are also held, bringing participants from the entire Group companies together to introduce their respective activities. The participants can talk about their countries’ goals and engagements as well as their personal experiences and observations, giving us all an opportunity to better understand TEL’s global initiatives.
