Today, we hosted a Panels with a Purpose discussion around the topic of “European Diversity and Stereotypes.” Europe is made up of many countries, cultures and sub-cultures that have a direct impact on communication with others using different languages and dialects. Understanding cultural differences allows us to better communicate. Thank you to our moderator, Milan Sesto, HR Director, Eastern Europe Manufacturing; and our panelists, Ignacio Adalia, Vice President, Global Mixing; Annika Gruener, Director Commercial Management Office; Achim Hosenfeld, Vice President, Global Business Development; Grzegorz Myrmus, Director Purchasing; and Luisa Zucco, Sr. HR Manager Europe for sharing your experiences and teaching our team about the similarities and differences of Europeans and the stereotypes associated with them. #WeAreCooperStandard
