2015 Diversity & Inclusion Conference & Exposition
Learn how cultural factors impact global diversity strategies and why companies need to leverage this knowledge to align diversity programs with business strategy.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Repeated from Monday at 10:45 a.m.

Global markets represent the biggest opportunity for American companies today. Involving these markets in D&I initiatives is no longer optional. Denise Pirrotti Hummel is an expert on understanding the cultural factors that impact global diversity strategies and how companies can leverage this knowledge to align diversity programs with business strategy. We call this “Global Diversity 2.0” which is a shift from a regulatory focus to a profit and loss focus. Multinational companies must have a strategic diversity framework in place that addresses diversity from a comprehensive perspective, including national culture, organizational culture, gender balance and generational differences and how to align diversity initiatives with business strategies that are calculated to have an impact on financial performance. This session will help you:

  • Explain best bractices for recruiting, retaining and advancing women in work and leadership, especially within cultures characterized as patriarchal.
  • Leverage national culture differences across borders to increase performance.
  • Understand and utilize the strengths and weaknesses of Gen X and Gen Y.
