I have a hard time believing a company is going diverse by replacing male Caucasian with female Caucasian. I was expecting Hispanic/Latino, Asian, African American, or another so on.

There may be other factor that comes into play. Of course I’m not expecting a huge change right away but the effort should continue rather than diminish.

I believe that each workplace is different as far as who is and isn't represented. Creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce depends on looking at who is there first and actively trying to foster diversity among employees.

Yes I agree. I don’t expect 1-3 years for the whole company to be diverse. But in terms of leadership and manager, I think it is a good start. Employees will follow. Diversity should starts from the top down.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment.
