WiHTL & Diversity in Retail announce impact on 4 million employees in milestone achievement
WiHTL & Diversity in Retail, the premier Collaboration Community focused on enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion within the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure, and Retail sectors, today celebrated a significant achievement in their mission.
The group proudly announced that their initiatives have now positively influenced over 4 million employees across these industries. This marks a substantial progression towards their goal of impacting 5 million employees by 2030.
The milestone follows the recent addition of notable members such as Costa, Greggs, MSC Cruises, and Popeyes, further strengthening their collaborative network. Founded by Tea Colaianni, WiHTL & Diversity in Retail has consistently led efforts to address and overcome crucial challenges in workplace equality and inclusion.
Tea Colaianni expressed her pride and gratitude for the achievement: “Reaching this historic milestone of impacting 4 million employees globally fills me with immense pride. I am deeply thankful for the unwavering support from our team, Advisory Boards, industry leaders, attendees at our webinars, committees, programmes, and our valued partners and sponsors. As Benjamin Zefaniah eloquently put it, ‘People need People.‘ It’s heartening to see so many individuals working together to forge a truly inclusive future for the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure, and Retail sectors.”
This accomplishment stems from a series of strategic initiatives including cross-industry collaborations, award-winning Leadership Development Programmes, and the creation of extensive Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) resources available through the Community.
