This week you and your team will have a virtual conference call with TechGrowth Corporation and Ali, your government regulatory specialist. During the conference call you shared the scope of the project with everyone and the timeline that was estimated by your department. You mentioned the importance of this project and how it could lead to more offices and business units being opened globally. Everyone on the call started to chime in and there seems to be a lot of concern on your company$$s lack of diversity management. A few of your team members and the vendor shared examples of how different executives and business developers that they worked with in the past at ASDG were insensitive to their cultural practices and religious beliefs. They mentioned that other clients in India have a poor view of ASDG$$s organizational culture and practices. While listening to everyone$$s concerns and stories you realized that your organization lacks cultural competency and diversity awareness.

You want to propose to ASDG$$s executive team on instituting a company$-$wide global diversity management training program. This training will focus on diversity management, workplace inclusion, cultural competency, stereotypes, and biases, and confront racial and ethnic disparities at the company.
