ENTRY DETAILS

Your submission should be sent via Word, PDF or PPT file.

Each submission should focus on ONE area of diversity per entry.

What do we mean by ‘areas of diversity’? An area of diversity should be addressing various forms of discrimination in the workplace. Here are some examples your diversity and inclusion initiatives should be addressing:

  • Age Discrimination
  • Disability Discrimination
  • Discrimination based on Parental Status
  • Discrimination based on Race, Color, or Sex
  • Discrimination based on Sexual Orientation or Identity
  • Discrimination based on National Origin
  • Pregnancy Discrimination
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Religious Discrimination
  • Reprisal / Retaliation (against complaints, charges, participation in investigations etc.)

Each entry should focus on the results an initiative (whether regional or national) had on a specific country market. This is because of the unique challenges each country in Asia faces, making it one of the most important context denominators.

Should a company have more than one initiative they are focusing on, the company, can choose to submit a separate entry for each focus area.

ELIGIBILITY PERIOD

Entries should reflect initiatives that were active during the period of January 2019 and January 2021

ELIGIBLE REGIONS

Any country in Asia may enter.

WORD COUNT

Please limit your submissions to 2,000 words.
