OneWorld Employee Network: Firoozeh Arjmand鈥檚 Story
Finding a sense of belonging
As part of our Boldly Moving Forward Strategy, we鈥檙e focused on intentionally building deep, trusting relationships for our people and nurturing our inclusive culture, including in how we approach wellbeing.
Wellbeing is foundational to everything we鈥檙e able to do and accomplish. We continually evaluate our wellbeing programs and benefits to best support our people 鈥 and we鈥檙e sharing stories of how these programs and tools are helping each of us individually be at our best, so we鈥檙e able to do more 鈥 together.
In this feature, we connected with Proposal Manager Firoozeh Arjmand to see how she found a sense of belonging with our OneWorld employee network.
Featured benefit:
OneWorld Employee Network
What prompted you to take advantage of this benefit?
I鈥檓 originally Iranian and moved to Italy in my twenties and now I live in Germany, I love new cultures and am always looking to learn about history, new traditions and even new languages.
Working in an international team needs cultural intelligence (CQ.) And OneWorld is all about training and building that trust, respect and appreciation within our employees. All cultures are respected in our organization, and we are working towards creating an environment where everyone feel that they belong to it.
How did it help?
My communications skill got much better, thanks to GlobeSmart and OneWorld鈥檚 vision and mission I know how to respect other cultures and how to approach people from different part of the world. Also, I was able to introduce my culture to other people here and that makes me feel that I do belong in this organization and everyone knows where I come from.
What did you like most?
Working with new people, learning about new cultures and being part of inclusion & diversity implementations. But the most fantastic thing I love about my role as one of OneWorld鈥檚 Global Communications Co-Chairs is when people come to me and say how much they appreciate us introducing their traditions to a broader group and giving them the opportunity to talk about their traditions.
Are you still part of the network?
Yes, I鈥檓 still in the OneWorld Global Communications Co-Chair position. It is a 2-year, voluntarily assignment and I鈥檓 closing the first year soon. But I鈥檝e been a member of OneWorld since 2020. I encourage 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 employees to join this network because it is a place for everyone and all cultures.
What do you want others to know?
OneWorld is collaborating on several important initiatives within 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 where you can get involved:
