On June 28, AmCham hosted a Diversity & Inclusion Seminar at Avery Dennison in collaboration with Avery Dennison, Diversey, IBM, Korn Ferry and TomTom. Over 50 members and guests participated in 'Voices of Inclusion', an initiative of AmCham's D&I Committee. We were joined by inspiring people and explored how young and older, physically challenged and privileged, male and female, as well as people with diverse sexual orientations or gender identity or with different cultural backgrounds not only survived but thrived in organizations which supported inclusion. It was an inspirational afternoon, where successful strategies were shared, but above all also many personal and honest stories. Diverse teams can have far above average success on the condition that there is inclusion: room for all to belong and be their authentic selves in the workplace. We thank all speakers and participants for taking part in this unique event!
