Business development focuses even more on diversity

Diversity management will have to play an important role in the future viability of companies, simply because of the shortage of skilled workers. However, there is still room for improvement in many areas and companies in the Hannover Region. For this reason, the Hannover Region's Economic and Employment Promotion Agency has taken up this issue with the "Future: Diversity" initiative and will be establishing a new focus in the coming years. A recent study submitted to the Hannover Region has also shown that there is a need to raise awareness of diversity-related issues .
The Hannover Region signed the Diversity Charter around two years ago, making it a role model - also for companies in the region.

With the "Future: Diversity" initiative , the Hannover Region's Economic and Employment Promotion Department is pursuing the goal of supporting companies in this area and developing offers. Creating diversity in companies is therefore a focus of action in the department. The first concrete measures have already been implemented. For example, a think tank for cooperation between business development and companies has already been set up. In the first quarter of this year, a second component was held for the first time: the Change Dinner . The "Future: Diversity" initiative was presented here and the opportunity was taken to recruit further multipliers for the think tank and the initiative as a whole.
On June 2 , the symposium "Few workers, lots of diversity - how do I inspire people for my company" will be another key event. Moderated by author Ninia la Grande, the event will feature panel discussions, a market of opportunities and workshops.
