#newnest #newhome Leaving behind almost a decade of memories with Directiplex and looking forward to creating some new stories.

I am thrilled to share our latest strides in fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace. I think we must discuss and share these initiatives and extend the conversation to the broader community. We need to go beyond Pride Month and related initiatives and lay equal emphasis on raising awareness regularly, educating our employees and implementing fundamental policy changes that reflect our dedication to inclusivity. This commitment ensures that employees feel respected and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. A Milestone Achievement: Gender Affirmation Surgery Coverage I'm happy to announce a major step forward in our commitment to inclusivity: our insurance now covers gender affirmation surgery. This isn't just a policy change—it's a testament to our dedication to supporting every Zetanaut's well-being and identity. This new benefit joins a suite of existing measures designed to create an environment of acceptance and support: * Insurance coverage for same-sex partners * Gender-neutral parental leave * Adoption assistance for same-sex partners * Gender-neutral policy documentation * Queer-affirmative therapists available through Optum In addition, we marked Pride Month with a series of engaging initiatives: * Zequal Spotlights: We showcased stories of resilience, innovation, and leadership from LGBTQ+ trailblazers, embodying the spirit of equality and inclusion we strive to cultivate at Zeta. * Wear Your Pride: We dedicated a week to spreading awareness about the meaning behind different colors of the Pride flag, with Zetanauts dressing in each color throughout the week. * Zeta Dialogues: On June 27th, we welcomed Dr. Sneha, a renowned counseling psychologist, who explored diversity in a global context, taught practical methods to overcome unconscious biases, and showed us how to be true allies. The session sparked engaging discussions and helped us better understand the importance of inclusivity in our workplace. Zeta #lifeAtZeta

Absolute delight to see this early Diwali gift from The Talent Deck. I have not had the best experience being part of communities and limited myself to just a handful. I decided to join TTD based on a recommendation. It's been an enriching experience joining TTD - the effort to keep this community connected, the amount of help and support within the community to solve challenges, the opportunities to meet decksters, interact with founders and hear from them first-hand on their journey. Thank you so much, Alex Peter Mohammed Sufiyan Sait Aashish Punjabi Bhavya Arora. Overwhelmed with the effort to make TTD a class apart.

Looking forward to a refreshingly different format to engage with folks from the fraternity. If you're in Mumbai, rethinking your plans and want to join in, register using the link in the comments. We would love to meet you at The Talent Deck Meet up this Saturday. Springworks Plum Keka HR Xoxoday Numans

We recently concluded an event to recognize our outstanding and stellar performers for the past yr. Each winner was joined by their loved ones, their managers and leaders. It was an incredible feeling seeing them walk up to the stage with pride, see their loved ones root for them, peers and leaders cheer for them. Theses moments matter and overshadow any other form of reward for going above and beyond. #zuitup2022 #lifeZeta

Thank you People Matters Global for the opportunity. Looking forward to this Webcast. This is going to be an interesting debate alongside Amit Gautam & Pooja Dudani on challenges that SMB face in building a learning strategy - right from planning, and investing to evaluating. See you there.

Great conversations and learning from this meetup. It was a pleasure meeting up with leaders in this space. Thank you Abhishek Sen and the EY team for putting this together. Looking forward to more sessions like this.
