The Social Impact arm serves as a champion for greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace by organising initiatives and workshops that aims to raise awareness of how one can identify biases, limiting beliefs or behaviours that may hinder inclusivity in the workplace.

As part of the Social Impact arm’s aim to promote diversity and inclusion, various workshops were hence organised to help uncover the underlying causes of existing diversity and inclusion issues present in local workplaces. An interactive workshop, participants would be guided in exploring their personal self-limiting beliefs, as well as how to identifying unconscious biases that poses challenges to marginalised groups in the workplace.  

In 2021, two workshops were also organised in partnership with the communities Data + Women and Asian Startup Network.
