Supporting Mental Health

With concern of heightened violence against Asian communities, this two-part series, hosted by our Asian Leaders Circle in 2022, brought together Omnicom’s Asian community and allies to learn, engage and support one another. Led by licensed marriage and family therapist, Nicole Hsiang Shieh, this programming provided attendees with historical context for current events, as well as tangible tools to help support the mental health of their peers.

Project Open Door launched to bring DE&I to the center of the talent recruitment process. The initiative strengthens how the agency attracts and evaluates candidates while bringing greater consistency and inclusivity into its hiring process. The initiative combines a series of commitments for FleishmanHillard’s talent acquisition teams, focusing on intentional and inclusive sourcing and forming stronger partnerships between recruiters and hiring teams.

Providing a Platform

TracyLocke

Diversifying Speaker Perspectives

Amid social unrest throughout the U.S., TracyLocke launched a speaker series called “Do Not Disturb” to amplify the voices of employees of color through candid conversations with real-time responses to cultural events. These raw, unfiltered chats created a space for employees to share their perspectives. The program has since expanded to advance overall inclusion efforts. Released throughout the year, “Do Not Disturb” episodes include “Black Did That,” a celebration of Black culture; “PRIDE: An Open Conversation,” a live event with a panel of advocates and members of a local LGBTQ+ organization; and “Conversation to Create Change,” on how to become allies for people with disabilities.
