On 21-22 November 2014  the Partners participated in the TUNED UP! kick-off meeting in Vienna. The main objective of the meeting was to define the assumptions of national research with the focus on business needs and expectations on the diversity management topic. Also, we wanted to find the answer for most fundamental questions related to the project’s topic:

How to make diversity more friendly?

How to overcome stereotypes and convince managers to benefit from diverse teams?

It has been decided that on the basis of these assumptions, a desk research will be conducted in each country in order to produce a report  including national conditions of diversity management, which will be then compiled in a comparative report. This task will form the first step in the process of creating the tools planned within the project.
