Unlock the Power of Cultural Diversity in Your Business

Australia is rapidly becoming more culturally diverse, bringing both opportunities and challenges to the business world. Are you ready to harness the full potential of your diverse workforce and customer base?

Join us for an insightful session with Andrea Obeysekere, Manager of Multicultural Services at Centacare FNQ, and special guests Marc Harbrow (Harbrow Mentoring) and Geoff Heath (Heath and Zhang), to explore:

• Breaking down cultural stereotypes
• Best practices for inclusive interviews and workplace dynamics
• The benefits of diverse teams
• How company policies and communication impact different cultures
• Effective learning and information retention strategies
• Funding opportunities for supporting a culturally rich workforce
• Maximizing team potential through effective communication and management

Then hear from a panel of businesses owners in Cairns who employ a diverse workforce.  How do they navigate challenges, what have they learned and how have they created a harmonious and productive workplace?

This session is brought to you by the Growing Workforce Participation fund, an initiative of the Queensland Government.
