Diversity…Valuing the Human Kaleidoscope

Diversity Training to help meet your team's potential and Remove Barriers to Diversity.

Diversity training is a key component of a diversity strategy. This onsite diversity seminar provides the awareness, skills and tools for individuals and teams to communicate and operate successfully in a diverse workplace. This training helps create and sustain change that fosters a more creative, inclusive, respectful and productive workforce.  

The diversity and inclusion training provided in this session is flexible to meet the gender, age and cultural differences specific to your organization. The delivery schedule and duration of training is adjustable to meet your requirements.

As organizations rapidly change to accommodate expanding markets, an increasingly diverse customer base, and an increasing diverse workforce, diversity training has become an ongoing part of creating an effective organizational culture.

This workshop helps build a culture where employees and customers are treated with dignity and respect, individual differences are understood, and diversity is appreciated.

Through interactive exercises, self-analysis and case studies, the skills needed to create and maintain an inclusive workplace are put into action. We provide insight into attitudes that impact interactions and offer a skill set that employees use to leverage the strengths of today's diverse workplace.

We are committed to assisting employers with training to ensure a cohesive workforce and culture. As a result, organizations limit the risk of potential liability of discrimination, sexual harassment and other employment related lawsuits.

Who Should Attend

All employees, regardless of position, will benefit from this program. It provides an open, non-threatening environment for first dialogue about issues that are sensitive, yet which need to be brought out into the open. Small classes work best because they can be more interactive - the larger the class, the less the interaction.  Successful diversity training creates opportunities for sharing perceptions, experiences, and ideas. A sensitive, intuitive facilitator/trainer is the catalyst to successful interaction. This workshop is delivered in 4 or 6 hour segments.
