Talking Points

The importance of Diversity, Inclusivity and Cultural Awareness

Diversity delivers results.

Did you know that a study by global consulting giant McKinsey of 957 people showed that teams, departments and projects with both gender and ethnic diversity produced increased outcomes? Unfortunately, diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness (and appreciation) are not at the front of all group agendas with the same study showing that 2 in 3 organisations have not made meaningful progress by increasing diversity.

Can that change now? Can that change start with you?

To help you learn how to open the doors to diversity in your teams, your projects, your events and your marketing, join us for this event on 'Inclusivity and Cultural Awareness' presented by 2022 Young Australian of the Year Finalist, 2 x TEDx Speaker, UNICEF Young Ambassador Jahin Tanvir.
