DIVERSITY CHALLENGES: WHAT WOULD YOU DO? April 22, 2008

Defining diversity and understanding how to navigate through a diverse workforce are two very different things. It is one thing to understand what diversity is, but it’s another to hire and manage the human complexities of a diverse workforce.

In talking about diversity, we not only focus on the visible examples such as race, age, gender, and national origin, but also on not-so-visible examples such as personality style, style of interaction, lifestyle situations, education, work function, etc. It is the identification, acceptance and understanding of those differences and similarities that allow individuals to become aware of and fully use their talents and abilities to make unique contributions to work groups and organizations.
Whether your organization already started a diversity initiative or you’re just beginning to look at the effect diversity has on your productivity, this program is designed to give your organization a chance to discuss some real issues affecting your workforce.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Define key terms: diversity, culture and cultural archives
  • Identify their personal cultural archives
  • Examine their personal archives and how they affect communication and workplace relationships
  • Recognize how differing cultural archives affect communication, relationships and ultimately productivity in the workplace.
