Diversity@work Awards 2008
Date:
Thursday 13th November 2008
Venue:
Palladium at Crown, 1 Whiteman Street, Southbank, Victoria
After the amazing response to last years event we were really keen to make sure this year is equally important to those who nominated, sponsor and attended the evening.
This year’s Awards program will focus on the important connection between diversity, inclusion and human rights.
Today’s world is often referred to as a world community and global village - one in which we have moved from individualism and fragmentation to a collective identity. Within this context, we all have an important role to play in promoting the rights of individuals to benefit from full social engagement and economic self-sustainability.
Not only are organisations realising the business benefit and commercial returns in achieving a more diverse workforce, organisations are also increasingly acknowledging the importance of their corporate and social responsibility. By recognising the economic and social benefits of diversity, they are providing opportunities for people to reach their full potential on a daily basis in the workplace and ultimately respecting their employees’ fundamental human rights.
To inspire us all in how we can continue to make a difference, internationally renowned human rights activist and business owner, Sir Bob Geldof is a special guest of the awards as this year’s keynote speaker and the presenter of the major awards at the Gala Dinner.
The Diversity@work Awards will again recognise, celebrate and promote achievements in diversity and inclusion in the workplace and we invite you to partake as a guest or nominee in what will be one of the major awards events in the business calendar for 2008 in Australasia.
We have again secured Mr Anton Enus as the MC for the evening and also assembled a world class gathering of music and entertainment for your enjoyment.
Some highlights for 2008 include:
- Gala event to be held at Crown Palladium featuring an exciting entertainment program showcasing local multicultural and indigenous artists
- Human rights theme with internationally renowned keynote speaker, Sir Bob Geldof
- Celebrity MC, Anton Enus of SBS World News Australia
