Celebrating Workplace Diversity with A Taste of Harmony

With one in four workers coming from overseas, there has never been a more important time to acknowledge and celebrate Australia's diverse workforce. A Taste of Harmony is an annual event that provides Australian workplaces with the opportunity to celebrate the diversity within their organisation. 

This year A Taste of Harmony runs during the week of March 17 – 24. 

As part of the event, workplaces are asked to register and then organise a lunch or afternoon/morning tea and encourage staff to bring a dish that represents their cultural background. Workers are also encouraged to share stories of their cultural background. 

“The team at Mitrefinch Australia consists of a number of cultures including The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Korea, Fiji, the UK and Ireland, as well as some token Aussies. A Taste of Harmony provides us with a perfect opportunity to come together and learn a little more about where our co-workers come from while enjoying an array of different national dishes.”
