Making the best use of everyone's talents: promoting diversity in the workplace (2010) en

Recruiting and managing a diverse workforce can have economic benefits for business as employees from diverse backgrounds can bring new perspectives and ideas, helping companies to reach new customers and markets. Creating a workplace where diversity is respected can also help employees be more productive, as they feel able to be open about all aspects of their lives or identities with their colleagues and so can be themselves at work.

Released on the occasion of the Fourth Equality Summit in Brussels, Belgium on 15-16 November 2010, this short film focuses on four companies in Belgium and Ireland to show how they successfully recruit and manage diverse workforces and the tools and actors available which can provide support.
