Companies in Asia are coming together to learn the best practices of workplace diversity and inclusion, and to drive positive change for organizational culture. By raising awareness of key diversity and inclusion tools and efforts, companies can bring desired change to the heart of their work, Florence Chan tells HCI.

Chan is a senior manager for knowledge and development at Community Business and is set to speak at HCI’s 2017 Inclusive Diversity Conference. Research of diversity and inclusion is relatively new in Asia, according to Chan. “The pickup is slow, but gradual in Asia’s business sectors,” Chan says. “The term is not understood and doesn’t resonate easily.”

In this podcast, she examines why on companies should celebrate differences and individuality among various cultures, learn about key drivers of diversity and inclusion strategy, and make their teams more in tune with Asia’s local market.
