Successful Workplace Diversity

In almost every aspect of today’s workplace, diversity is a reality and inclusion is a key factor in success. From the workforce to the customer base, organizations increasingly face important differences in culture that includes ethnicity as well as gender, age, and socioeconomic background. This training addresses such fundamental issues as multicultural dynamics, intercultural communication, and the development of an inclusive workplace that transforms difference into an invaluable organizational asset.

Workshop Goal

To build your awareness and understanding of how cultural differences unconsciously impact your interactions with managers and coworkers from diverse backgrounds, and to build the knowledge and skills to be more successful in working with organizational members who are different from you. In addition to building individual skills, we also look at how management can implement practices that ensure the workplace is welcoming towards diversity.
