In 2020, Omar engaged GSK’s Chairman of the Board and gained commitment to further diversify the Board, include race and ethnicity targets in the annual report and to implement annual mandatory inclusion training for the Board and the CET. Omar also drove the progress of GSK’s race and ethnicity agenda as a member of the Global Ethnicity Council; developing objectives with clear tangible actions. His ongoing collaboration with HR shaped and developed global I&D and talent programmes including introducing new mandatory I&D training, refreshed leadership training and an Inclusion Dialogue toolkit to help teams have impactful and action focussed conversations about inclusion. Omar also worked with HR to update GSK’s Covid-19 guidelines to ensure that ethnically diverse individuals were not facing a greater environmental risk to Covid-19, and partnered with HR, R&D and the Black British Business Awards to run a pilot talent programme for ethnic minority talent within R&D.
