Workplace Diversity
Valuing
Our Differences
½ Day workshop for the whole team
Our
increasingly diverse society is reflected in
the growing diversity of our workforce.
High Performance organizations
acknowledge that working successfully with
others who don’t share the same background,
beliefs or traditions is critical for success.
In other words, "We may have come
over on different ships, but we're all in the
same boat now."
To
the point, we had better learn how to
cooperate and get along with each other if we
want to be productive and successful.
By discovering our similarities as
well as our differences is one of the best
ways to capture the unique skills and talents
each person has and put those skills to work
for the entire team.
Developing
skills to help determine how to handle
circumstances when our differences are
standing in the way of our progress are
invaluable.
With the tools given here, we will see
how to recognize the advantage of diversity;
how to value each person's contributions; how
to communicate effectively about diversity;
and how our differences can help us be a
better organization.

the importance of:
- Diversity and inclusion.

expansion in a global marketplace.
