This thesis analyses the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) practices in international organizations, especially in the Hilti Group with a special focus on the Czech and Slovak market organizations. The goal is to develop recommendations for the improvement of Hilti's existing practice in gender, generational, global diversity and inclusion. The theoretical part provides an overview of the academic background of D&I, its management, evolution and trends with a special focus on gender and generational diversity. It is followed by best case practices for selected D&I benefits. As a next step, in cooperation with Hilti, a thorough analysis of gender, generational, global diversity and inclusion was conducted with the purpose of comparing global, regional and local outcomes. Moreover, this empirical part aims to get a deeper understanding of the current situation regarding D&I for the market organizations in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The hypothesis that Hilti has developed appropriate initiatives to further implement D&I into its culture, has been confirmed. For further improvement, some suggestions have been proposed. The recommendations for each diversity dimension (gender, generations, global) are based on the literature described in the theoretical part of this paper, best case practices, and also the own ideas of the author.
