Diversity is recognized as a potential factor on competitiveness in business. Considering recent developments in the global economy, how can we best manage diversity and inclusion in our community and workplace? In this webinar we try to find answers to this question by exploring the implications of a diverse workplace from global and European perspectives. Our primary focus will be on the role of culture, the importance of intercultural communication competence, and the role of personal and professional leadership in building and managing a diverse and inclusive workplace.
