Alliance tailors the final program content to meet the needs of your organizational culture and current issues.

Designed to be a fundamental component of a diversity initiative, the “Diversity and Inclusion” workshop goes beyond simply informing employees about diversity. The workshop also develops and enhances skills among employees to help them communicate more profoundly in the future.

In this interactive session, participants learn what cultural influences created their own behavior and communication style. In the process, they gain a new perspective to recognize and accept differences of other cultures. Through cases, exercises and interactive discussions, the workshop develops skills and understandings to improve dialogue with people who have a different "cultural lens" and improve overall communication within the team and the organization as a whole.

While diversity training cannot all together change individuals’ beliefs, the “Diversity and Inclusion” session increases awareness, imparts knowledge and educates employees on how to accept differences among fellow employees. Everyone leaves the session with a better awareness of their own personal values and how their past has created their current perceptions, behaviors, and communication style. They develop new understandings for their own personal growth.
