Introduction 

Irish workplaces are more diverse than ever before. With the number of international students graduating in Ireland having doubled in recent years, cultural diversity is set to become the norm across all employment sectors.
Research carried out in Ireland has shown that employers who can appreciate diversity in all its forms, be it cultural, skills mix, personality or other factors, achieve greater levels of success and growth. Workplaces that pro-actively value difference achieve better talent retention, creativity and effective teamwork.  Acquiring competence in building creative and dynamic workplaces where everyone is equal and everyone's voice is heard is now an essential skill to organisational development which benefits both employers and employees.

Overview
