Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

Overview:

This two-day class is designed to provide class participants with the latest strategic approaches to leading with Diversity and Inclusion.  The focus includes discussion about human and organizational systems that impact the individual, the team, and the organization.  Driving forces for diversity and the experience of inclusion are examined.  Utilizing Inscape Publishing's Diversity Assessment Profile (R), participants identify their present attitudes and knowledge about workforce diversity and explore workplace behavior caused by prior conditioning.  The basics of culture are defined and compared to corporate culture influences that impact behavior between employees, management, and the customer.  Cross cultural competency is studied along with cultural hot-button scenarios from actual workplace case studies.  The process of Mind Mapping is utilized to help participants better utilize managing diversity methods in creating future inclusive workplace environments.
