CEC 2007 Conference in Stockholm (Sweden)

"Better Performance through Diversity - Equal Opportunities as an Asset for Tomorrow's Management"

Managing our diversity by ensuring fairness and equality is becoming crucial in today's changing and complex society. Inorder to remain successful, organisations must understand these changes, see the benefits of promoting diversity and take the necessary actions.

The CEC conference held on 7 and 8 June 2007 in Stockholm and supported by the European Commission in the framework of the European Year 2007 of "Equal Opportunities for all" has represented the concrete outcome of CEC everyday commitment in this field.

The aim was to raise awareness on on discriminations, being intentional or not, in our societies and European companies. CEC also stressed the important role of executives and managerial staff both as promoter of diversity and as potential victims of discriminative behaviour.

During a couple of days, discussion panels, thematic workshops and interventions of specialists have addressed questions, rmarks and suggestions of an audience representing 20 European countries.
