One of the advantages of working for a multi-national organisation is that we acquire workforce from all over the world. We have a marvelous mix here, which rather suits my zenophile tendencies.
An Indian and a Brazilian in our midst, created the Inter-cultural Group here, a year or so ago. I am flattered that they invited me to join.  The group provides advice on cultural issues for travelling employees; support to overseas visitors; translations; and spreads cultural awareness and appreciation of diversity through the workplace.

We’ve organised a summer party for group members, at our hotel, this evening, which I am very much looking forward to.  I hope to be able to bring you some interesting tales and photos later.

Can we make things better?

Why do we put so much time, effort and money into making life difficult for folk? Isn't it time we challenged some of the "accepted wisdom" that makes this world tick? Is there a raised standard of happiness available to all from more acceptance of diversity and tolerance?
