Workshop-Networking: "Multicultural working environment – inspiration, innovation and integration for all”

The workshop is open and intended for members of the BPS platform and signatories of the Diversity Charter, but also for private and public employers who are "just getting started" with diversity and inclusion. The workshop program will be devoted to topics related to a multicultural work environment. The program will offer the sharing of best practices with the integration of foreign employees into the corporate culture, including the functioning of multicultural work teams at Heimstaden.

The program will also present best practices with the integration of Ukrainian war refugees. Among other things, representatives of the Moravian-Silesian Employment Pact will present their experiences with good practice.

Other responsible companies participating in the workshop will also share their best practices in the program, for example IKEA, which will present the principles and activities of its successful Skills for Employment program in more detail.

The program will also introduce the new open tools of the D&IMC project to support the development of diversity and inclusion in currently "less experienced" employers.

The ambassadors of diversity and responsible business, the companies Heimstaden and IKEA, will present their best practices on the topics of multicultural diversity in the workplace, including the possibilities of supporting and integrating Ukrainian war refugees on the labor market in the Czech Republic.

The program will offer a unique discussion and opportunities to coordinate best practices of other employers and responsible companies, including representatives of public administration, local government or the non-governmental sector.
