Hello, again. I am Helene
Tenzer, a Professor
of International Management at
LMU Munich School of Management.
To wrap up our journey
through International
Human Resource Management,
we will now talk about diversity
and inclusion in the
international context.

As companies are increasing
their international scope,
they often find themselves
with incredibly
diverse workforces.
Consequently, diversity
and inclusion have become
critical elements in
contemporary human
resource strategies.
Diversity, simply put,
reflects the vast array of
individual and group
differences present
within a company, spanning
aspects like nationality,
race, age, gender,
ethnicity, and beyond.
It is about the variety
of staff composition.
Inclusion goes beyond this.
It seeks to cultivate
an environment where every
individual, no matter where
they come from, feels valued
and fully integrated
into the organization.
It is about ensuring
equal access to
opportunities and
acknowledging the importance
of each contribution.
The key distinction
lies in recognizing
that diversity
pertains to who is in
the workforce, while
inclusion is about how
these individuals are treated
and feel as part of the company.
