Understanding diversity allows
individuals to explore their own viewpoints on workforce diversity.
This business diversity workshop introduces a process that helps draw
out an individual's knowledge, feelings and understanding of the variety
of human qualities basic to the people that are in the workforce. It
addresses all forms of difference: race, age, gender, generational,
sexual orientation, etc. The workshop enables the participant to identify
opinions and feelings about workforce diversity. Based on responses
to an individual profile assessment attendees receive personalized feedback
that moves through four levels: knowledge, understanding, acceptance
and behavior. Each area is important in shaping workforce diversity.
At the conclusion of the
workforce diversity workshop participants will be able to:
- Describe their own opinions
and feelings based on responses to the Discovering Diversity Profile.

influences work behavior and attitudes.

may affect others.

through which participants can address diversity issues.
- Express dissenting opinions
without fear of disapproval or causing offense.

and acceptance.
