Previously, diversity was about quotas and headcounts. Now diversity and inclusion initiatives have moved from a compliance issue and “it’s the right thing to do” to a strategic business advantage that stretches across international borders. As a hiring professional in the new global market, you must be aware of and exhibit the sensitivity and skills to identify attitudes, values and expectations in the cultural context of your recruits....
