Episode 4 Co-hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein explore current perspectives on diversity and inclusiveness within multinational organizations. To what extent is diversity a U.S.-centric workplace issue? Can/should U.S. based organizations export their values about diversity and inclusiveness across borders? To what extent are diversity and inclusiveness globally transferable? What can North American organizations learn from inclusiveness efforts in other parts of the world? How are diversity and inclusiveness addressed across cultures? Weigh in on the discussion on Diversity Matters as we explore the global transferability of diversity and inclusiveness. Judy and Richard’s guests on Diversity Matters are Tomás Leal, Regional Manager with British Petroleum’s (bp) Global Diversity and Inclusion Function, and Lahcen Haddad, Ph.D., a Moroccan national who consults and teaches throughout Morocco, Europe and the Middle East. Tomás has responsibility for diversity and inclusiveness at bp in Africa, Middle East, Russia and the Caspian Sea. Having worked in this field both within the U.S. and globally for nearly twenty years, Tomás will share his experiences, lessons learned, challenges faced, and thoughts for the future. Lahcen works as an international consultant in strategic management, diversity, and gender for various Moroccan and international organizations and joins Tomás with Judy and Richard as we discuss these and many other questions on Diversity Matters |
