Flexibility, inclusion, diversity, empowerment, wellbeing

Leila Hoteit, Managing Director and Partner, BCG Middle East

The role of diversity in the workplace is multifaceted. It ultimately offers long-term productivity and guaranteed growth. Diversity has proven invaluable in crisis management, especially following the effects of the pandemic on the global value chain where diversity contributed to outstanding decision-making and agility.

Adopting a diverse workplace not only is the right move, but the most ingenious one for industries seeking to keep up with the uncertain times ahead. The rising awareness is a token to that valuable contribution.


What used to be a dream work environment has increasingly manifested across businesses locally and globally. Flexibility, inclusion, diversity, empowerment and wellbeing are now a prerequisite for talents. The dream workplace has evolved into a place where you can create social impact and add value to your communities.


Working on projects that have a huge impact on people and communities by addressing some of the most pressing challenges, such as education, employment, and welfare. Driven by purpose, we focus on unlocking the potential of those who advance the world, therefore opening the door to the future.


As advisors to decision makers, we pursue consistency in effecting change, and one of the challenges we face is supporting decision makers to achieve impact and follow through amidst disruptions. That is not to say that challenges do not exist. Looking at the scale of impact on communities, we tend to perceive every challenge as an opportunity to drive growth.
