Posted by As the metro Atlanta population becomes increasingly diverse and integrated, so does its workforce. The need for diversity in team building has never been greater. As Atlanta's dominant population of black and white decreases, its Hispanic and Asian American populations are on the rise.
The century's first decade saw a 7 percent decrease in the black and white population, together comprising 85 percent of Atlanta's people. The Hispanic population grew 10.2 percent, and Asian Americans increased to 5.1 percent of the city.
The growing mix not only enriches Atlanta's cultural landscape, but also provides the much-needed diversity for corporations in Atlanta seeking to create a positive corporate culture and to maintain a competitive edge in a global economy.
When it comes to diversity and inclusion in Atlanta, Venture Up Team Building is well prepared to rise to the challenge. Venture Up staff are chosen not only for their professional experience and educational backgrounds, but also for their life or work experience abroad, or work with diverse communities. Atlanta also has no shortage of historic and trendy hotels, with team building sites and amenities suiting the needs of people who create successful organizations.
