The Inclusion & Diversity Group held the first-ever Global Emerging Leaders Seminar in Ireland 27th-30th of September. This 2-day learning experience was geared towards helping leaders develop their leadership skills and learn to work more cohesively across countries. It also provided leaders with tools to better engage their colleagues and ensure Convergint’s Values and Beliefs are at forefront of every business decision they make.

This highlights Convergint’s commitment to investing in its colleagues to ensure diverse perspectives and voices are brought onto the team to review the company’s programs, policies, and initiatives as they relate to Inclusion & Diversity.
