Cultural intelligence in action: Helping your multicultural staff to thrive

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.
