Intercultural management: It is obvious that the arrival of large numbers of migrant workers and refugees to Western European has consequences for the ethnic composition of the labor markets. Available figures indicate however that the socio-economic position of these groups is far from satisfactory. Compared to their native colleagues they suffer from higher unemployment percentages and of longer unemployment periods as well. Intercultural management is generally considered as a component of Human Resources Management (HMR) aiming at:
Increasing the participation of ethnic minorities in the labor market and of their chances for vertical mobility.
Realizing recognition and appreciation of cultural diversity in organizations, and
Promoting mutual acceptance on the work floor.
It is assumed that organizations which take such measures into account will notice a considerable increase in their productivity. Intercultural Mediation and Consultancy offers assistance in order to reach the above mentioned aims.
