While we all agree that embracing the richness of #diversity can drive innovation, enhance performance, and build stronger teams, observance days such as #WorldCulturalDiversityDay bring this to the forefront. As Claire D'Abreu-Hayling notes, it serves as a reminder for us to value diverse perspectives. Because, let's admit it, it's easier said than done. Days like these remind us of the need to be intentional about observing our own #biases and navigating inner conflicts when we encounter perspectives that differ from our own. Yet, this #introspection is crucial for our personal growth and success. For me, this day is a reminder to ensure that the fairness we seek is something we extend to those around us. And on a side note, to demonstrate the same or higher levels of patience as those we communicate with, especially when we face barriers such as language or technical skills. 😊

We believe in the uniqueness of each individual, inspired by the philosophy of our founder, Konosuke Matsushita: “Every single person has their heaven-sent qualities found in no other, and success in life depends on making the most of our unique qualities.” 🙌 As an integral part of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, we organise an annual Group DEI Forum, a global event that brings together employees from different regions to share their passion and perspectives on this important topic. "How Cross-Cultural Perspectives Strengthen Teams" is the title of this year's global session, to which we invited four panelists and a moderator from four regions and countries. 💬 Overcoming our own stereotypes and prejudices is a long process, but every journey begins with one small step. But we remain committed to fostering an inclusive work environment through various DEI initiatives, including the Group DEI Forum, Unconscious Bias training and several community activities involving employees from around the world. 🌏🏳️🌈 Be inspired by our panellists Wilsey Mockett and Sylwia Miedza here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezF4G_8y How do you encourage people to work in a cross-cultural environment? #PanasonicEurope #DEI #Diversity #Team #CrossCultural #Equity

inclusio's term of the day is Cultural Competence! Cultural competence is the ability to effectively interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds. It includes understanding the values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and communication styles of different cultures. Individuals who are culturally competent are open-minded and sensitive to differences in language, worldviews, lifestyles, religions, customs, political views, etc. They also recognize the potential for stereotyping due to their own cultural background or personal biases. Having a culturally competent workforce is essential for any business because it allows them to better understand their customer base and build stronger relationships with customers from different backgrounds.
