In today’s multicultural Aotearoa, our workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse. But are our organisations equipped to support employees’ cultural needs? From bereavement practices and religious observances to dress codes and dietary considerations, cultural accommodation plays a crucial role in creating inclusive workplaces.
This webinar will bring together expert panelists to discuss what cultural accommodation looks like in practice. We’ll explore how organisations can develop inclusive policies, normalise cultural flexibility, and address common challenges in supporting diverse customs and traditions.
Through real-world examples and practical insights, we’ll unpack:
- How to navigate cultural obligations like tangihanga and fa’alavelave
- The importance of recognising religious practices and celebrations
- How to align cultural flexibility with business needs
- Everyday actions leaders and teams can take to foster cultural respect
This session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to better support cultural diversity in your organisation.
Diversity Sessions are interactive online conversations designed to deepen our understanding of inclusion issues affecting our organisations and our people.
Join us for an engaging conversation on how to create workplaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected.
