I\'d go with David\'s \"complementary viewpoints\" for \"regards croisés\"

to share different views
That's my suggestion for "regards croisés".
For "interviews croisés", I presume they're talking about "dialogue" rather than actual interviews ("two-way interviews").
Maybe "dialogue to share different ideas // experience" if it has to go together with "to share different views".

to share points of view on experiences that show the diversity of the group and etc
regards croisés is actually to "exchange glances" but HERE it is, in corporatese, TO SHARE POINTS OF VIEW ON X, Y AND Z.
I would NOT put in the word ouverture per se here except for SHOW
Please note: with this corporate language you have to sometimes ALMOST rewrite it because of the flow, this is NOT a legal text where it does not matter if the signifiers do not exist per se in English and you can say things that do not jive exactly with US or UK legal language...you have to think, how would a corporate communications person WRITE THIS in English, otherwise, it's just text that SOUNDS translated....
as for interviews croisés, you don't actually post the context so I can't tell.....IT MIGHT be: to compare interviews.....

2-wayt communication
Just another idea on a possible translation for this:
"support that enables two-way communication and the interchange of mutual experiences and information, thus presenting (or showcasing?) the diversity and at the same time the convergence of the activities, programs, and jobs at the group's various sites".
(FYI, my background is that I have an MBA and many years of experience working in corporate america--so I'm familiar with the corporate jargon!).

Sorry--spelling error--I meant \"2-way communication\"!! (not \"wayt\"!)
