How Karyn is building a better working world
“We believe that when people can be themselves at work and feel a strong sense of belonging at work, they can provide the best possible cross-cultural and global services to clients.
Creating a sense of belonging is pivotal to aligning business practices with a commitment to social progress. And when different voices join together, it can also pave the way toward a more sustainable, inclusive future, not only driving a lasting impact on business but also on our communities.”
