This webinar from the Institute on Immigrant Integration Research and Policy was held on April 24, 2025.
There is no doubt that the multicultural workplace is here to stay. The inability to cross cultural divides and employ a multicultural lens in understanding immigrant employees can hinder their access, survival, and advancement in the workplace. What can workplaces do to ensure the social integration of their foreign-born workers? What skills do native and foreign-born workers need to thrive in a multicultural workplace? It is often said that immigrant workers “show up differently” and those differences can create misunderstanding and unfair disadvantage. What are the best practices to create a socially integrated workplace?
