Leave stereotypes in the dark: create an inclusive workplace [Hong Kong]

What are your initial impressions of a physically disabled woman, a transgender woman, and a visually impaired man?…The values behind these words denote a sense of “other”…Is it no wonder that creating an inclusive workplace for these people can seem challenging? Unfortunately, such labels do not capture the capabilities of a person, and certainly not those of a potential employee…So how do we change our perceptions? Andreas Heinecke founded the social enterprise Dialogue in the Dark…Dialogue in the Dark and CSR Asia are teaming up to create an innovative and experiential diversity and inclusion workshop…Richard Welford will explain the business case for diversity….The workshop will be held on Thursday, 17 February 2011 at the Dialogue in the Dark Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong.
