Engaging with Diversity and Inclusion perspectives at UEH

28 Dec, 2024

To mark a significant step in raising awareness about Diversity and Inclusion (D&I), the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) successfully hosted the online seminar “Diversity Inclusion in Multinational Workplaces”.

The session featured speaker Đỗ Hoàng Anh, a professional consultant in workplace diversity and leadership development. Drawing on years of experience and expertise in talent development, he delivered thought-provoking, relatable, and inspiring insights designed to resonate with students on their journey of exploring diversity at UEH.

Speaker’s presentation stood out for its practical, behavior-driven approach. His smooth and engaging delivery transformed complex concepts into accessible ideas. Attendees not only gained a deeper understanding of the three layers of workplace culture but also explored the multifaceted nature of diversity in multinational corporations. Through compelling discussions, the speaker shed light on topics like unconscious biases in leadership assessment and the lesser-discussed challenges of diversity. By weaving real-world scenarios into the dialogue, he encouraged students to actively participate, fostering the realization that D&I isn’t just an abstract concept but a tangible force shaping everyday life-spanning personality traits, mindsets, and workplace environments.

Participants delved into practical strategies for identifying and adapting to diverse workplace personalities. The seminar highlighted how individuals can maximize the value of differences around them, cultivating a harmonious and sustainable work environment. In the final segment, the focus shifted to personal growth within the D&I framework. Students learned to identify their strengths and weaknesses while gaining tools to leverage D&I principles for long-term self-improvement. Reflective exercises encouraged attendees to document their unique qualities, helping them embrace diversity and adopt a multi-dimensional perspective on life.

The event’s success was fueled by the openness of participants and the approachable, dynamic style of speaker Hoàng Anh. Drawing from his extensive experience in D&I research and practice, he fostered meaningful exchanges that captured the multi-layered spirit of the discussion.
