How would you feel about working in a culturally diverse and inclusive environment?

Prudential Financial's culture is heavily steeped in cultural diversity and inclusion. As they state on their site, "bringing together teams with diverse backgrounds, identities, and expertise. By working across disciplines, learning from colleagues, and creating a welcoming environment, we discover smart solutions and new outcomes." Before considering bringing anyone new on board, they need to ensure that the person has a degree of cultural competence and is comfortable in such an environment.

Conveying cultural competence requires interest, openness, and curiosity. Nonverbal indicators for these emotions are leaning in, tilting your head as you speak, smiling, and making eye contact. Signs of discomfort and avoidance could be interpreted as indicators of negative bias and antipathy. Such nonverbal cues include decreased positivity, less eye contact and more gaze aversion, fewer smiles, greater interpersonal distance, and increased blinking. Consider these points when formulating your answer.
