diversity in organizations
Register on Eventbrite for the Conference Diversity in Organizations 2023
Also with bit.ly/DIO2023
This event is organized by the CEBRIG, ULB’s research Institute in Management Science, the Bernheim Foundation and the G3 de la Francophonie.
Practitioners join the academic discussion and share their experiences, ideas and thoughts about diversity management in organizations. What diversity dimensions are relevant at the workplace? How do organizations manage diversity and inclusion, and how are they perceived internally and externally? Do various employees truly embrace a culture of inclusion and fully understand what diversity & inclusion means? What organizational processes might unintentionally hamper inclusion? What can your managers do to more effectively manage team diversity and reap its benefits?
These and other questions will be discussed within the context of scientific research and practitioners’ experience. Our aim is cross-fertilization. The program of the conference is rich, combining the academic evidence on organizational diversity (through scientific lectures and poster sessions) with practitioners’ testimonials about their concrete reality of diversity.
This conference will provide the opportunity to network and collaborate with attendees. Our aim is to build bridges, not only between academics, but also between practitioners and academics, as we believe that only together we can bring about change that truly matters.
