The purpose of the session is to provide not only awareness, but also tangible strategies and tools to understand the fundamental characteristics of the Hispanic culture and their implications in the workplace.

Projections indicate that by 2030, Hispanics will no longer be a minority. Moreover, according to 2015 US Census data 1.2 Million Hispanics were added to the nation’s population between July 1, 2014, and July 1, 2015. This number is nearly half of the approximately 2.5 million people added to the nation’s total population during this period. It’s because of this data that global thinkers affirm that the Hispanic Workforce is the future for US companies.
