Introduction

Our Diversity at Work Series™ is designed to help leaders and organizations leverage the power of diversity in their workforce.

It involves having a diverse workforce and implementing inclusion strategies designed to increase productivity and profitability; and must be addressed at the organization, team and individual level. Starting at the head, with leadership, is critical to success.



Diversity At Work Series™ (Consists of Five (5) Modules)

Modules include strategies for building the following skills:

Skill Leaders Individual

Managing Diversity √

Building Effective Teams √

Working Well Together √ √

Personal Learning √ √

Understanding Others √ √

Conflict Management √ √



Finding Common Ground™ For any initiative to be successful there must be buy-in and commitment from influencers within the organization. Finding Common Ground™ explores the business case, fosters understanding and clarifies why effectively managing diversity in the workplace will help the organization accomplish its mission. Leading A Diverse Workforce™ Since leadership is a key ingredient to successful organizational change, Leading A Diverse Workforce™ is designed for leaders, both formal and informal, to assess and build skills for leading and managing a diverse workforce.

Working Well Together™ Designed for all employees in the organization, Working Well Together™ explores:

Dimensions of Diversity (Differences & Similarities) Perceptions, Stereotypes & Biases Barriers to Inclusion

Building BEST Teams™ Highly productive teams must be built. Building BEST Teams™ walks a group of individuals through the stages of group development, helps them assess their current state and develop an action plan to move from forming to performing. The Generations™ From a generational perspective, the workforce is more diverse than ever. The Generations™ is designed to explore attributes of each generation, not for the purpose of labeling, but for the purpose of understanding how the generations can “blend” to achieve organizational success.

The awareness of diversity. How it applies to the work place.
