Every October we observe Global Diversity Awareness Month. The month brings an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the various cultures that surround us and appreciate how a multicultural society is strengthened through its diversity. Global Diversity Awareness Month is also a good time to promote inclusion in our environment and recognize the array of differences assorted cultures bring to a community, workplace, and society.
