Rationale
The workplace is changing at lightning speed. One of the biggest transformations has been an upsurge in workforce diversity. Are you prepared to harness the diversity that exists inside and outside your organization? It’s not a matter of choice anymore – it’s a matter of survival. This training program can raise your organization’s awareness about how managing diversity is essential to remain competitive in today’s world.
Program Overview
The purpose of this course is to create an understanding of what diversity means in a workplace setting and to describe how diversity can be an untapped organizational asset. During this program participants discover how their own biases influence how they encounter differences. They will then explore alternate ways of responding to differences in workplace situations. Participants will also examine the challenges that are inherent in implementing a diversity initiative within an organization.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of Diversity in the Workplace, participants should be able to:
- Define the concept of diversity.
- Identify the impact and challenges of a diverse workplace.
- Begin to uncover their hidden assumptions and biases pertaining to differences.
- Identify specific behaviors that can help them function more effectively in a diverse workplace.
The Participant Experience
Diversity in the Workplace is a rich learning experience that employs text, audio with multiple diverse voices, animation, and graphics to drive home the key points. Participants will interact with the program through knowledge checks, real-life scenarios, and survey questions. Throughout the program, participants are encouraged to look inside themselves to identify their personal filters and to be open to alternate ways of responding that might be more effective than their current methods.
Most participants can complete this course in one hour.
