Global

This session will explore the inclusion challenges and opportunities faced by global organisations. Employees can be separated by thousands of miles and spread across several time zones, which in itself is tricky, but to grow inclusion across cultural and legal differences presents particular challenges.

The risks of getting it wrong can be enough to make employers give up on a global Inclusion and Diversity agenda but the benefits are substantial if you are able to flex your approach.  What works in your home country isn’t necessarily going to work globally, and we will be exploring what you can do to navigate a global environment with respect and sensitivity.

Join us for a thought-provoking session where we will be discussing how employers can put cultural intelligence into action and foster an environment of inclusion for all.

We will be hearing from diverse voices, sharing personal experiences and insights on thriving in a multicultural workplace. We will explore the joys but also the potential emotional labour involved embracing your culture in an environment where the majority culture is different from your own.

Observed in many countries around the world during the month of June, Pride Month celebrates the resilience, diversity, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. Despite much progress, when it comes to LGBTQ+ inclusion, the world is still a much-divided place: violence against the community is still a reality for many, at least 67 countries still criminalise same-sex consensual activity.

Join us for an enlightening panel discussion, where we will hear from diverse voices from the LGBTQ+ community and leaders in this space.

Open only to members of Inclusive Employers, join our roundtable discussion where we dive into the heart of inclusive leadership across borders.

This will be an opportunity for members of Inclusive Employers that operate in a multinational or global environment to discuss, share best practice and learn from each other.

As global organisations expand their reach, decision makers face complex challenges at the intersection of law, culture, and business. Join us for an enlightening event where industry leaders and inclusion experts share insights on navigating these critical issues.

In today’s interconnected world, global organisations operate across diverse cultures, languages, and time zones. Effective communication is more than just language proficiency; it’s about understanding cultural nuances, building trust, and influencing outcomes.

Join us for an insightful event where experts share strategies and practical tips for communicating effectively across cultures.

Staff networks operating in global and multinational organisations have a fantastic opportunity to make an impact, not only in their local markets, but also with colleagues from across the globe. There are also challenges to be considered: how do you engage and inspire people in countries with extremely different cultures, sensitivities, understandings of inclusion, and not to mention legislation?

You will have the space to discuss what challenges you face when doing inclusion work in a global space which is growing increasingly complex. We will have a conversation about how to lead on inclusion strategies with an international outreach while respecting local cultures and sensitivities, and how to influence stakeholders who may have very different understandings of Diversity & Inclusion.
