Learning about diversity and inclusion from peers, exchanging experiences, and growing together as teams – these were but a few goals of BSH’s Diversity Week in July. This virtual event was organized by colleagues for colleagues who wanted to change their work environment for the better.
Diverse workforces – sounds great! But what if our socialization makes it difficult for us to build a diverse and inclusive circle of friends and colleagues?

We asked the session’s organizers for their insights.

One aspect of this was the question how we can deal with unconscious thought patterns correctly to strengthen openness towards and appreciation of others.
