However, he admitted that the advancement in technology made it difficult for employees to "switch off" from work.
"I used to have this bad habit where I sent out emails at 4.30am and would ask at 7am, where is my answer," he added.
This, he said led to him having a panic attack three years ago.
"So, mental health is another thing that needs to be addressed," he said.
Stephanie Caunter said it was necessary to have role models for women earlier on in their careers.
"It is too late by the time they become senior managers," said Caunter.
She also emphasised on the importance of work-life balance that included flexible working hours.
In terms of issues like maternity leave, Caunter said men should be given more time off to spend with their children.
"Don't call it maternity leave. It gives the impression that women are responsible of taking care of the home. It should be a shared responsibility."
Caunter also said that in terms of diversity at the workplace, it was all about bringing different voices together that would create a more robust environment for business to thrive.
Ee Lynn Tee, who currently heads the Innovation and Experience team of Sime Darby Property in Sales and Marketing, said diversity at the workplace allowed her to have sufficient exposure.
"I get to understand the best practices and this helps me understand what the public want," she said.
Izzat Aziz said diversity was important when it came to handling the tech part of business.
He related how they had to deal with counterparts from countries like India and Russia and having to understand their cultures at the same time.
"Diversity is important because it has a direct impact," he said.
Izzat also said that technology had now enabled a situation that allowed people to work from almost anywhere like the home or cybercafe.
"You don't need to be at your desk. All you need is a laptop and handphone."
