Perception, bias, and exclusion: learning how to counteract unintentional exclusion.
-
Sense of belonging: discussing diversity management, from building trust and a sense of belonging to nurturing engagement and psychological safety.

Antiracism Workshops
An inviting and interactive 75-minute workshop addressing the topic of racism in modern Sweden.
We open by discussing contemporary Swedish perspectives on racism. Then, we examine how racism impacts communication and judgments made towards people from other groups.
The session combines audience interactions with exercises and case studies that illustrate potential unconscious bias, prejudice, and exclusion — and help us drive towards productive solutions.

NEW: Partner Support Program
Talent retention isn’t just about your international employees, but the families they bring with them, too. An unhappy, unintegrated partner in the host location is the number one reason why an assignment fails or isn't accepted.
The Partner Support Program is a talent retention tool for employers in Sweden. It enables successful international assignments by helping accompanying partners get the support they need to adjust to life in Sweden.
Hire internationally. Longterm. Successfully.
