Discovering Diversity

Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in growing workforce diversity. Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don't share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today's workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behavior toward people who are different from them. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation.

Designed to help individuals look honestly at themselves to identify attitudes and behavior that stand in the way of teamwork, Discovering Diversity provides a safe way to explore the complex, powerful issues surrounding diversity.

The delivery options for this program are half-day or full-day formats.

The materials used in this workshop will help people in your organization to:

• Discover their personal comfort level with people different from themselves.
• Understand the impact of their behavior on others.
• Assess the accuracy of their knowledge about differences.
• Limit the influence of stereotypes.
• Reduce conflict.
• Transform knowledge into acceptance and empathy.
• Embrace diversity as a source of organizational strength.
