APAC Junivator Talk Show: #BreakTheBias

0:03 there's quite a few activities that are

0:05 happening all over juniper to celebrate

0:07 iwd

0:09 and the apac contribution to that is

0:11 this virtual library chat

0:14 and during the conversation today we're

0:16 going to be talking about breaking the

0:17 bias

0:18 not only gender bias but bias in all of

0:21 its form

0:24 [Music]

0:30 this is where juniper is great in

0:32 supporting the opportunity to break down

0:34 these barriers

0:35 um for me i lead by action so in my team

0:39 i have 12 different countries of origin

0:43 where everyone has their own story of

0:45 why they have moved from their original

0:47 country

0:48 to their adopted country of australia or

0:50 new zealand

0:52 so there is no one race or age or level

0:55 of experience that precludes them from

0:58 the opportunities to grow here at

1:00 juniper and to challenge

1:02 how and why tunipa does the business in

1:05 the way that we do

1:07 right so it creates great diversity

1:10 i think other things that we do

1:12 offering programs to encourage

1:14 self-development

1:15 whether that's job shadowing or

1:17 mentoring that we were talking about

1:18 earlier

1:20 those who are able to voice their skills

1:22 and network with others across the

1:25 company and that's not just locally but

1:27 across the world

1:30 [Music]
