Acknowledge this:
I have worked internationally with over 65 different nationalities in over 72 countries, as Human Resources Manager, and I can tell you this, 85% had an effective diversity management strategy build in the organisational strategy that produced high levels of team work, productivity, innovation, employee engagement, and retention.
