Reputed online educational magazine The Education View is pleased to feature Oana Iordachescu, Founder of Fair Cultures, who is a forward-thinking leader who recognizes that creating an inclusive environment is essential for building innovative teams.
She is committed to expanding this mission by advancing inclusive workplace practices. Her emphasis on shared leadership and multiple perspectives guarantees that fair practices become embedded in all organizational decision-making.
Oana Iordachescu promotes equity by finding and eliminating systemic barriers that might disadvantage specific groups. Learning and development are continued, and she promotes constant learning about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to maintain a culture of respect and fairness. Feedback loops and responsibility are included in maintaining and establishing these practices to make sure they link to inclusion goals.
Strategically, she embeds inclusive people practices, translates equity policies into action, empowers DEI champions and trains DEI decision-makers via experiential learning. Through equitable cultures, she seeks to develop workplaces in which all workers are enabled to contribute to their potential and drive the company toward greater innovation and success.
To Oana, preparation involves connection and story. She dives deep into knowing who her audience are, what they lie awake at night thinking about and what pushes them. She then couples those moments with new opportunities for action, crafting a rich tapestry of stories and data that speak on both an intellectual and emotional level.
At the core of everything Oana Iordachescu does are two simple values: courage and foresight. Courage, because every advancement in the world has been paid for in terms of bravery. It’s a question of recognizing that the unknown need not be terrifying and recognizing that what we think and do about critical things is all that we can possibly control.
Foresight is about seeing into the future, but not a single future, multiple futures. She wants to enable the viewer to decide their future and influence their mind. But in order to do that, she feels we need to know where we have come from and where we are today. It’s about giving people the resources to tell their own tales.
