The Diversity Summit 2012 – Londyn

6 grudnia w Londynie odbędzie się The Diversity Summit 2012 organizowany przez The Economist.

Businesses are facing intensifying pressure from investors and stakeholders to ramp up their diversity initiatives. Ensuring there is inclusion at every level of your organisation is not just a good thing to do. Studies show that companies with a greater degree of diversity at  every level perform better than their less diverse counterparts.

Chaired by Robert Guest, Business Editor at The Economist, The Diversity Summit will provide a platform for intelligent conversation on diversity in business. It brings together 150 senior executives: leading HR, talent and diversity professionals as well as psychologists, anthropologists and linguists for high-level discussions.

You will learn how companies that have available an employee pool that is truly diverse in skills and thinking are inevitably going to win out in the asymmetric business climate of the early 21st Century

You will identify and tackle the real drivers of bias
