Why your workplace should celebrate A Taste of Harmony

With such a diverse workforce in Australia, we speak more than 300 languages and come from more than 200 countries. One in four of us are born overseas and one in five speak a language other than English at home.

 

A Taste of Harmony is a simple, creative and free way of celebrating cultural diversity in your workplace. Employees bring a dish from their culture of origin or affinity to share. Food is a conversation starter, and this provides an opportunity to discuss culture, family and identity.

 

97% of participants consider it an important part of their workplace effort to help foster cultural diversity and 97% said it brought their team closer together.

 

There are many proven benefits to having a culturally diverse workplace, with workplaces reporting a reduced absenteeism rate, higher levels of innovation and creativity and having a healthier and more inclusive work environment overall.

 

Taking part in A Taste of Harmony demonstrates that your workplace values the cultural diversity of your employees.

 

A Taste of Harmony will be celebrated nationwide among workplaces big and small. In 2017, over 6,200 workplaces held events – that’s more than 347,000 people taking part!

 

Hold a morning tea or lunch where everyone can come together and share their favourite dishes. You can register your event to access free tools to plan and organise your event here.
