LONDON, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Powered by Verizon, the Valuable 500 has enlisted 75 Generation Valuable
Mentees and Mentors
- Launching in January 2023, the Generation Valuable participants will gain
access to world-class creative leadership courses and collaborative
opportunities with the other multinational corporations taking part in the
initial cohort.
- The programme modules include Creative Leadership, Leadership Identity,
Strategic Thinking, Business for Good/ESG, and Disability Advocacy.
- The Inaugural cohort includes EY, Hitachi Group, ISS, London Stock Exchange,
Mahindra, Nestle, P&G, Santen, Sanofi, Sekisui House Ltd., and Verizon and
includes companies for every continent in the programme.
Celebrating International Day for Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) the Valuable
500 today announces reaching the goal of securing 75 mentees and mentors as the
inaugural cohort for its innovative leadership 'Generation Valuable' programme
from companies in every continent. This follows the launch of the search for
the leaders of tomorrow at WEF in May this year.
Research shows that marginalised talent often faces systemic barriers to
promotion, leading to a shockingly low number of disabled people in leadership
positions – particularly within the executive level and C-Suite. Generation
Valuable seeks to address the gap in disability talent, at all levels, by
creating an opportunity for one rising leader from each member company to
receive training provided by some of the world's leading disability inclusion
and leadership development experts, as well as an internal executive mentor.
This will chart new pathways to C-Suite level for aspiring disabled leaders and
caregivers.
Over the course of 12 months, the mentors will be championing the development
of their mentees by sharing industry insights, encouraging growth mindsets, and
equipping them with the strategic tools necessary to flourish in business. The
programme will strengthen participants' personal leadership identities to
cultivate environments that execute business strategies with an ESG and equity
lens.
Caroline Casey, Founder, of the Valuable 500 commented:
"Generation Valuable will amplify real talent and pave the way for eliminating
outdated biases that prevent aspiring leaders from attaining the C-Suite rung
on their career ladders. I am truly excited for our next steps and look
forward, as a Collective, to building better faster together."
Charlotte Edgeworth, Director of Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Impact, Sony
Music UK commented:
"Sony Music UK is proud to support the inaugural cohort of Generation Valuable.
The Valuable 500 is leading the way in disability inclusion and we are thrilled
to be part of this important initiative. We know that participation will have a
positive impact not just on mentees and their mentors but on the wider business
environment."
Generation Valuable will be co-chaired by powerhouses in DEI Fred Moltz, Head
of Accessibility, Verizon, Sam Latif, Company Accessibility Leader, P&G, and KR
Liu, Head of Brand Accessibility, Google.
