Organizations with greater diversity benefit from increased innovation, improved brand reputation and better employee engagement, resulting in greater talent attraction and retention.\n\nFor HR professionals managing offices in multiple locations, the impact and focus of DE&I initiatives will naturally be different due to cultural context. For example, in the United States, this might be linked to human rights, race, gender and civil liberty. In Europe, language and cultural heritage are probably more at the forefront. In Asia, \u2018collective accountability\u2019 and racial tolerance may be a stronger definition of diversity.\n\n","rich_text_content2":"Leveraging cultural differences becomes key in developing the approach.
