GC Diversity and Inclusion Report Europe 2017
The diversity of European diversity
Europeans know a thing or two about diversity. After all, a neighbour in the next town might speak a different dialect, or the nearest big city might be over the border in a different country. Living in a patchwork of cultural values and standards, Europeans have an intimate understanding of difference − linguistic, social, political and legislative – and have sought to build a governing apparatus that takes inclusion as its core tenet. Perhaps this is why many countries in the continent have often taken the lead in attempts to foster workplace equality, whether that is legislating for quotas of women to take their place in the boardroom, or providing world-class parental leave and support.
