Our Events 2020 DIAN China Link Virtual Roundtable

Description

This DIAN China Link Virtual Roundtable is part of the DIAN Week 2020 programme, and is for DIAN Connect/Premium members only.

 

With rural-urban migration and improved mobility, workplaces are bringing together local talents from various parts of China. Unique to China is its sheer size, combined with its hukou system which entitles individuals to specific rights based on their place of origin. Today, people from some provinces still face not only institutional barriers to accessing the job market, but also regional stereotypes and discrimination. Beyond levelling the playing field for talents from diverse regions, it is crucial to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, regardless of their place of origin. In this roundtable, you will learn how regional stereotyping could manifest in the workplace and discuss with other China-based D&I professionals possible solutions to tackling regional discrimination.

 

Target Audience

  • D&I professionals who are based in China or oversee the market
