The Challenges and Benefits for Today’s Organizations
The world’s increasing globalization requires more interaction among people from diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, and backgrounds than ever before. Building a diverse supply chain and workplace populationcan present many challenges and opportunities for today’s management teams.
Diversity issues are reviewed by top management on a regular basis and are projected to become even more important in the future due to increasing differences in the U.S. population. Managing diversity is more than simply acknowledging differences in people. It involves recognizing the value of differences, combating discrimination, and promoting inclusiveness and effectiveness within our work teams.
Come join us for a great evening of networking with your peers in APICS, NAPM, BNHRA, and InfoTech Niagara and our panel discussion of “Diversity in the Workplace” and how it might affect your organization now and in the future.
