Today organizational management should focus on the implementation of diversity into all levels of the company. Diversity is the key to growth in today’s competitive global marketplace. Companies cannot longer hide behind their lack of cultural intelligence and organizations should understand that diversity is not just about making the numbers or the implementation of programs like “flexible work places” or “returning parent programs”. Diversity must sit deep in the organization; it is about how the organization treats its people and how a company ensures that it has a mix of diverse backgrounds (age, gender, culture, religion) at all levels of management.
Unfortunately, today, C-Level executives do not understand or get involved in diversity, they normally pass it on to human resource personnel or a designated diversity leader, who may have difficulty understanding how to implement diversity in the organization, despite all good intentions. Understanding diversity takes years of business, coaching and organizational management experience. We at Global Business Therapy have this experience and can help you ensure that diversity is implemented in your organization. If you are a European company, you must pay attention to diversity due to the European Directive 2020 encouraging a 40% gender mix on Boards; if you are an American company, you will not be able to survive global competition unless you embrace and understand diversity.
We can help you access to which degree diversity is REALLY being implemented in your company and come up with a plan to ensure it will be implemented completely. We also have special training classes for human resources and diversity managers to help them understand how to implement diversity.
