The Inclusion & Diversity Group held the first-ever Global Emerging Leaders Seminar in the UK on the 4th-7th of October for colleagues from the UK, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The seminar provided leaders with tools to better engage their colleagues and ensure Convergint’s Values and Beliefs are at forefront of every business decision that is made. Colleagues participated in team building exercises, worked together to solve problems, and took part in fun and laughter activities at the seminar.

Yaruba Tate, Vice President of Inclusion & Diversity, brought the Global Emerging Leadership Seminar to EMEA to gain an understanding, and discuss Inclusion & Diversity. The main aim of this seminar was to connect with colleagues locally and the strengthen communication in the EMEA region. This highlights Convergint’s commitment to investing in their colleagues and ensuring diverse perspectives and voices are brought onto the team, enhancing Convergint’s programs, policies, and initiatives as they relate to Inclusion & Diversity.
