Diversity really does matter in the modern economy.
A One Day Seminar It is predicted that over the next 20 years,
the ethnic minority population will double to 12% of the total UK population
from the current 6% or 3.3 million. This provides both challenges and
opportunities. UK plc is in a prime position to become a world-class economy
if it manages to harness positively these skills and sbilities. Organisations
that develop truly multi-cultural teams will be those that will be able
to face the market-driven, electronic, global economies of the future.
