Description: Sponsored by the Diversity Committee and International Practice Specialty
Employees from diverse backgrounds bring individual talents and experiences in suggesting ideas that are flexible in adapting to fluctuating markets and customer demands. A diverse workforce can supply a greater variety of solutions to problems in service, sourcing and allocation of resources. Practicing diversity in the organization can make a positive impact on any business or any organization. This session is a panel presentation of case studies of successful organizations that practiced diversity and achieved organizational goals including Safety, Health & Environmental (SH&E) targets.
