Diversity

Valuing the Individual
Individual differences in the workplace must be sought after, nurtured, and respected. Progressive organizations understand this. But sometimes that's easier said than done. How do you coach workers not only to respect their colleagues and the traits each individual possesses, but also to seek out those co-workers as team members? How do you teach everyone to get along?

In this course, you will discover the foundation for understanding diversity and developing skills for working in environments and groups composed of diverse individuals. Specifically, you will learn the value of:

• Diversity in high-performance organizations

• Appreciating diversity

• Using the advantages of diversity and inclusion for growth and expansion in a global marketplace

• Communication guidelines

• Valuing the Individual packs solid information into a four-hour class. The dynamic training includes scenarios for handling those difficult moments and helps participants learn how to speak up in delicate situations.

Managing Diversity
Problem: A manager faces a team in which everyone is different. What does she do?

Solution A: She demands that everyone think and act alike.

Solution B: She observes the differences and puts them to work for the team.

The manager is likely to choose either solutions before participating in the Managing Diversity course. Afterward, Solution B will be her choice. This module will align participants with high-performance thinking and managing. In this session, participants will cover a wide range of topics including dealing with the topics of race, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, and physical ability in the workplace.

Managing Diversity is a four-hour course. Training includes essential skills for overcoming the challenges presented to a team that needs to pull together.
