The team of S.T.I. Glonet S.L. in Spain recently held an engaging roundtable discussion, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). We would like to highlight the successful outcomes of this session, during which our colleagues shared feedback, exchanged ideas, and set the stage for future actions.
Creating Engagement and Collaboration:
Prior to the roundtable, all employees had the opportunity to suggest topics they deemed important for discussion. Two main topics were chosen: flexible working hours and cross-department communication. These topics resonated with the workforce, reflecting their desire for work-life balance and improved internal collaboration.
A Milestone Achieved:
The Managing Director considers this roundtable discussion as an important milestone achieved in fostering communication and exchange with employees. It was heartening to witness everyone's openness and willingness to contribute to DE&I dialogue. The informal nature of the roundtable created a welcoming environment, free from hierarchies, where every voice was valued.

During the roundtable, employees shared positive feedback and exchanged valuable ideas related to the chosen topics. Flexible working hours emerged as a sought-after benefit, promoting a healthy work-life balance. Cross-department communication was acknowledged as crucial for effective teamwork and the exchange of diverse perspectives. These ideas sparked innovative strategies that can enhance their work environment.
