Cultural Awareness at Missouri S&T

What does your company do to enhance cultural awareness and sensitivity among employees?

What are the expectations of new hired regarding cultural awareness and sensitivity in your company?

> Adhere to policies > Willingness / openness to learn

– Continually– Cultural differences– Customs

> Understanding of how to work with diverse individuals

Presenter

Presentation Notes

While we do not expect new hires to be well versed in cultural awareness/sensitivity, we do expect them to have an understanding of how to work with a diverse group of people. We live to the letter of the law as an EOE employer. There are different diversity groups within the company that are open to all employees to recognize culture and diversity within the workplace. The expectation is for all employees to work seamlessly with cross-functional teams as needed to complete our mission and exceed customer expectations. Employees are expected to understand there are cultural differences and to be willing to learn the customs when doing international business (or even when working within a very diverse US workforce). Typical expectations of new college graduates. Understanding that we are a global company and you will have opportunities to work on global assignments and learn about new cultures. Openness to learning. To be open to other cultures and respectful of all.

What can S&T do to better prepare graduates in terms of cultural awareness and sensitivity?> “S&T can also promote diverse activities that appeal to a

variety of ethnic backgrounds.”> “Offer engineers more course options in leadership and

personal development.”> “Have them job shadow at companies to see the

differences, because each company is very different.”> “Encourage interaction between the cultures to bring

about greater awareness, which in turn will increase sensitivity.”

> “Summer internships, visiting to large companies, seminars on corporate ethics.”

Presentation Notes

The Street Team can help keep you informed about Student Affairs and all the opportunities available to help prepare students for life after S&T. *share your experience with student affairs and how being aware of the opportunities helped you develop personally and professionally. Student Affairs actively provides opportunities to acquire self-management and life success skills (stress and time management, interpersonal communication skills, etc.) as well as career preparation (e.g., practice interviewing and resume consultation) activities. Student Affairs understands that some of the most important learning that occurs in college takes place outside the classroom. Whether students live in a residence hall, fraternity or sorority, at home, or in an off-campus apartment, where they live impacts their learning and development. Student Affairs provides high quality programs and services that create opportunities for students to become engaged in the life of the university and gain important life skills. Students who are involved in campus and community activities outside the classroom typically are more satisfied and academically successful. Student Affairs programs and services promote involvement in activities of students’ choosing. Programs are available that ease the transition into college, support wellness through recreation and intramurals, develop leadership skills, and promote lifelong learning.
