Want to unleash the creativity of your diverse team?
How confident do you feel about leading your people – making the most of their differences, and yet sharing a set of common values?
Are you losing some of your best people, due to the (sometimes hidden) tension between their own needs and work demands?
Do you find that your organisation’s energy is sapped by misunderstandings due to cross-cultural, gender or other differences?

Please see the bottom of this release for more information and for contact details. The Executive Summary from the report can also be found on this page of our site along with samples of the surveys which we used for this research.
The report can be purchased from HMSO for £10 + p&p Tel: 0870 600 5522 www.hmso.gov.uk
"I strongly welcome this report, which the Commission for Racial Equality has commissioned from Schneider-Ross. It acts as a progress report on tackling racial discrimination in Wales and provides the first reakl evidence of how public authorities are facing up to the challenges of the Race Relations (Ammendment) act 2000.
It provides clear and in some cases disturbing evidence of the problems we face, the benefits of addressing institutional racism and the areas where there is still a great deal to be done. This report demonstrates the real significance of mainstreaming racial equality and the General Duty in everything we do. It shows the need to deliver real outcomes on the ground and avoid getting caught up with the unnecessary paper chasing."
Sir Jon Shortridge KCB, Permanent Secretary, National Assembly for Wales.
