The sixth issue of the Diversity in the Workplace Guide was published in February 2008. The introduction discusses the beginnings of corporate social responsibility through the Global Compact and its outcomes, and the position of the “Opening Employment Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities in Lebanon” project in these outcomes. The issue includes an interview with Barbara Murray, Senior Disability Specialist at the International Labor Organization (ILO), an explanation of MS and working people with MS, and a look at the experience of the Development Company and its goal of adopting a diversity policy.

This issue of the guide was written and edited by: Imadeddine Raef and Rasha Nassereddine, with material contributions from Haifa Shoheib, Iman Khalifa, Hanan Halima, Ola Salameh, and Samar Salilati. The guide was supervised by Sylvana Lakkis and produced by Fouad Mokdad.
