Our D&I education and consulting

I worked with Jana Tikalova in Kiwi.com, at that time we had 50% of women and the average age of employees was 27 years. We needed to be prepared and have some program in place to make sure Kiwis stay Kiwis during parental leave. Jana helped us to design a grow.kiwi.com program for parents and managers.
Jana is a great professional, patient listener and a good human. She provided us with the options, shared her honest feedback and views. I highly recommend Jana's services in the diversity & inclusion area to anyone who doesn't want to stay on the surface and wants to ensure a meaningful impact in the area.

We partnered up with OPIM to help us launching diversity and inclusion topics in our SKODA Academy. The team has developed and executed a set of modular workshops within our Diversity programs for students and teachers. I was absolutely pleased with a very professional approach, interactive and engaging activities. I highly recommend OPIM as your partner in diversity and inclusion, and to experience their program Living Library.

I joined a training delivered by Jana Tikalova from OPIM to Prazdroj´s leadership team and appreciated her approach where she not only proved her knowledge of the topic and very good facilitation skills but also prepared special training reflecting team and company specifics. Jana is a passionate professional with a clear purpose to build better diversity and inclusion in Czech society and business.

We are grateful for a well-prepared online workshop on authenticity, diversity, and social bubbles. Our employees understood how and why unconscious biases influence us. Also, we uncovered the identity cover issues. We appreciate especially a number of practical examples, interactions with our employees, and discussions.

Cooperation with OPIM was a great experience, fast and very smooth. Our first webinar was on D&I and through very practical examples from life it gave our employees real understanding what these terms really mean. The interactive approach and gamification brought the attention of this topic. We are looking forward to our next cooperation.

OPIM was invited for cooperation in our 2 days national conference in a virtual settings. We wanted to open D&I topic. I really appreciated how naturally and also playfully the topic of D&I was introduced that employees really dived into the topic, which was not an easy task. I really appreciate a high level of professionalism, attention to details, intensive preparation under time pressure, excellently technically managed and overall very human and optimistic approach. Excellent performance and moderation bringing relaxing atmosphere, humor and interesting D&I touch points. I definitely recommend OPIM as a partner for its expertise in D&I and professionalism.

Martin Smejkal

Marketing Manager Brown - Forman

Diversity and inclusion are currently very hot topics for many companies. Brown-Forman is not an exception. That is why D&I were areas to disclose during our 2-day annual online conference. The challenge was how this topic we can introduce to our employees. OPIM was a clear choice not only for their expertise but also for the openness and professional approach of Jana Tikalova.
The whole program of the conference was interactive and fun. Presentations, exercises, quizzes under Jana's facilitation and moderation brought lots of interesting questions, AHA moments, and understanding of the topics exactly as we wanted. We are grateful for Jana's maximum efforts during the preparation, professionalism, and mainly her openness and very human approach.

We are very satisfied with OPIM services, especially we appreciate personal and loyal approach when launching the e-learning Sightseeing Tour which is a unique on the Czech market.

what works and does not, and to learn from our errors
because making mistakes is human.

Diversity is also current topic in the field of law. It is a question of how much the law is able to change society and how much the law itself influences how people approach diversity. However, I am sure that by getting involved in D&I Shapers we can together raise important
issues related to law, diversity and inclusion.

Diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives matter for society as a whole and for us as a business. I believe the diversity of our workforce is what enables us to connect with a diversity of customers and communities and helps us anticipate their needs.
