ABOUT BASMAH ISMAIL-SIDI

Hi, I’m Basmah, a People and Culture leader with 14+ years of experience working at the intersection of employee experience, engagement, organizational culture and belonging.I help organizations create environments where people feel connected, supported, and empowered to do their best work. In my current role at Dayforce, I lead global culture and engagement initiatives across 12+ countries, partnering with leaders to shape meaningful, values driven experiences that influence how work gets done every day.I believe belonging and culture are built in the small, consistent moments through how we listen, build trust, and create spaces where people can show up as themselves. I lead with curiosity, care, and a strong commitment to continuous learning, grounded in the belief that growth often happens just beyond our comfort zones.Outside of work, I stay grounded through time with my family, exploring nature, and discovering new places with my husband and son, experiences that keep me present and fuel how I lead.
