Many organizations (including Carnelian, Bonanza Industries, Engro, Pepsico, Mentor Graphics, Mindworks, ACE Consulting, USAID, Insolito Associates and several consultants) in Pakistan are using the GDIB as a result of the efforts of Zahid Mubarik, SHRM-SCP, SPHRI, GPHR, CEO of HR Metrics, and President of SHRM Forum Pakistan. Zahid is a member of The Centre’s Board of Directors. One of the programs his organization offers through Diversity Hub for DI Champions is a 7-week, one-hour each week webinar program where two of the 14 categories are explained and examples given of how to achieve those category benchmarks at levels 3 – Proactive, 4 –Progressive, and 5 – Best Practices. The format is 15 minutes on each of two GDIB categories to describe the benchmarks, stating a few examples to achieve them. This is provided by one of the GDIB authors, Julie O’Mara or Alan Richter, or one of these Expert Panelists: Lorelei Carobolante; Lobna “Luby” Ismail, and Charlotte Sweeney. That is followed by a 20-minute example provided by a local or national D&I practitioner, including Bettina A. Deynes, Interim Chief of HR, Diversity, and Strategy Officer, Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), USA; Lene-Gaathaug, Chief People Officer, Telenor, Pakistan; Christina Danforth, CEO Jetpacker, USA; Naila Kassim, Head HR, House of Habib, Pakistan, Ghazala Shoaib, HR, Mentor Graphics, Pakistan; Aurangzeb Soharwardi, USAID, Pakistan; and Amra Mubashir, Lead Culture, Engagement and Diversity, Asia Pacific Region, Pepsico, Pakistan. The hour concludes with 10 minutes (although sometimes the time is extended) of Q&A. The webinar series, which is from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in Pakistan, started on January 10 and concludes on February 21.
