Synopsis

Both a strategy and an implementation road map of a new brand of diversity, this book focuses on developing a workplace culture that is inclusive of all employee populations and making an organization globally prepared. It seeks to fix stagnating “domestic” diversity and to revise current diversity programs through a strong infusion of cross-cultural perspective with intercultural business competencies training. This practical guide helps Human Resources (HR) leaders reenergize or revisit their work in light of pressures from increasingly diverse workforce populations, tough economic times, and the need to develop globally minded corporate cultures.
