How an Expat Experience can contribute to Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace
We live in a
fast-paced society where digitalization has also added a new phase to
globalization. To
meet the dynamic changes in society and to be successful, companies need
employees who reflect and who understand their diverse client base and the
world around them.
What is Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)?
The Society for Human Resource Management
(SHRM) defines diversity as “the collective mixture of differences and
similarities that include, for example, individual and organizational
characteristics, values, beliefs, experiences, backgrounds, preferences, and
behaviours.”
Furthermore, the SHRM defines Inclusion as “the
achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly
and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can
contribute fully to the organization’s success.”
Coming articles will look at Diversity and
Inclusion (D&I) in the workplace and how an expat experience can bring
valuable understanding and insight to employers and employees on D&I topics.
