Synergy and wealth of diversity

- This seminar enables the term 'Diversity' to be defined and the various types of diversity, their relevance and their impacts on the company to be understood. The globalised world needs increasingly varied resources. The integration of the latter requires a clear strategy and the support of all management and staff in the creation of a common future with new values.
- Over these two days, diversity will be presented and analysed in all its forms.
- We will practically transfer this to each company’s circumstances in order to determine its "best form of diversity”, the strategy, the implications for the management, communication, the values and behaviour of the managers and of all the staff.
