Talk description
Title:
Diversity, Chocolate and Safe Cracking.
Short synopsis:
Diversity. It's the topic of the hour. Organisations are all putting 'diversity' and 'equal opportunities' on every job ad. But, for some organisations it still seems to be a struggle. What's the goal? Do we want diverse teams because it's the "right thing to do" or is it "good for our teams and organisations"? Are we hiring minorities to keep up with quotas or our competition? This talk will engage the audience in a frank discussion on what diversity is, why we need it and how we might achieve it.

Diversity. It's the topic of the hour. Organisations are all putting 'diversity' and 'equal opportunities' on every job ad. But, for some organisations it still seems to be a struggle. What's the goal? Do we want diverse teams because it's the "right thing to do" or is it "good for our teams and organisations"? Are we hiring minorities to keep up with quotas or our competition? This talk will engage the audience in a frank discussion on what diversity is, why we need it and how we might achieve it. Guiding attendees through the latest research with practical exercises to demonstrate the issues and open discussion to find answers to the following questions: - What does diversity mean? How does it relate to me? - Why does diversity matter in effective teams? - How can teams where everyone is different be effective? - How can we increase diversity in our organisations? - Is positive discrimination a feasible and ethical way to achieve diversity in our organisations? - How can I employ a diverse group, when they are not applying? Diversity is no longer just a moral imperative, it's critical to effective organisations.
