15 Mar the importance of diversity in events work teams
a diverse work team, whether interdisciplinary or intercultural, represents a challenge in terms of organization, but it can give very rich results specially in events.
in a diverse work team, where people come from different disciplines, from different departments of a company, or from different cultures, very diverse opinions, different attitudes and disparate points of view converge. we can see this as an obstacle, or as an opportunity. it is best to see it as an opportunity, since the results of the work of a diverse team can be much richer than those of a homogeneous team.
creativity and innovation
when we bring together people of different cultures, abilities, ages, professions, etc., in the same work team, the ideas of all the members are added. there are more likely to be more different ideas when members are diverse, because they think differently. working with people who are different from us and who think differently causes us to open our minds and discover new possibilities, opportunities and perspectives, for the project we are working on and for new projects. diversity multiplies creativity, the creativity of each individual and that of the group.
diversity makes it possible to reach more customers.
companies that have employees of diverse backgrounds and experiences will be able to better reach all customer segments, from different cultures, men and women, young and old. etc because within the company there are people who know and are close to customers from different segments, knowing better how they think, what they need, where they are, etc.
at sevenevents we accept other points of view. an organizational culture that is not tolerant of different ideas and opinions will see diversity as a generator of conflict. for diversity to be beneficial for the company, we must promote tolerance and respect for others and their ideas. furthermore, business culture must promote the freedom to express ideas, so as not to clip the wings of creativity, the greatest benefit of diversity.
given the variety and diversity, having a common interest to work towards becomes essential. the common unites us and generates strong connections between humans. let’s take advantage of that for good cohesion of diverse teams. work for a common objective, the project, the company, etc. and always celebrate the successes the team achieves.
