Ana Cengic, Associate Director in HR, Affinity Private Wealth
I’m proud to support initiatives like becoming a JET Ambassador, which focus on making workplaces more inclusive and accessible for everyone in our community. It’s rewarding to be part of this positive change for good. Everyone deserves the chance to succeed at work, free from barriers or stigma, regardless of their background or abilities.
In my job, I’m especially committed to ensuring our policies and practices reflect inclusivity and equal opportunities, values that align perfectly with Affinity’s commitment to supporting diverse talent. Employers have a vital role in shaping an environment where every individual’s talents are recognised and valued. By embracing opportunities to upskill and tackle unconscious biases, they can unlock the full potential of their teams.
I heard Dean speak at the Institute of Directors Diversity, Equity & Inclusion event in June 2023, where he was on the panel presenting neurodiversity in the workplace. We were in the process of looking for a trainer for our people managers, and Dean’s engaging and approachable style made him the ideal choice. This was the catalyst for our collaboration with JET.
