Diversity Management in Denmark and Beyond

Knowledge on the Nordics

This podcast is about how large organisations, like companies and trade unions, can learn from social movements such as Pride. While some of it may be lip service, the hope is that some elements stick, resulting in more diverse and inclusive workplaces across the Nordics and beyond. Jannick Friis Christensen from Copenhagen Business School is interviewed by Nicola Witcombe, editor of the research dissemination website nordics.info.
