THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
Diversity Management in SMEs
About
Significant demographic changes are taking place in the labour market in Europe. Organisations need to be more open and inclusive to attract and retain a more diverse workforce.
The Think Global, Act Local project uses the power of storytelling to inspire employers and employees to change by equipping them with the competences and tools necessary to build inclusive and diverse workplaces. This way, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other organisations can exploit the talent and diversity of all workers, overcoming labour market barriers faced by certain groups due to ineffective human resource management policies and practices.
