Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions 1 to 2 based on the given
information.
Competing on the global stage presents companies with a series of challenges. In addition to the routine
concerns that companies face such as managing growth, building a sound infrastructure, and keeping an
eye on the bottom line, expanding overseas has its own special challenges. Laws and regulations vary from
region to region, and there are language and cultural barriers that can create unanticipated problems or
challenges. Which is why organizations have found that the best way to ensure their continued success on
a global scale is by having a diverse and inclusive workforce.
Interestingly, while gender diversity and ethnicity programs are common around the globe, there are
significant regional differences. For instance, Asia-Pacific companies are much more likely to have
diversity programs related to age or nationality. European companies are more likely to look at disability
or sexual orientation. According to the executives from large, multinational corporations that were
interviewed, companies that want to be successful need to have a workforce that reflects the demographics
of the region they are doing business in. For one, it is important to foreign investors and clients to see
themselves reflected in the company’s junior and senior teams. Secondly, local hires can help overcome
language barriers and navigate cultural nuances. And thirdly, it helps firms attract new talent.
