It’s naïve to think that people who have largely lived in homogenous communities and have gone to homogenous schools would be armed with the tools necessary to operate in a diverse workforce. This is particularly true where sociologic history and evolution have led us to feel most comfortable operating in silos of commonality. However, this type of isolation does not allow individuals or organizations to work most effectively. And while individuals may raise diversity concerns at home or in their social circles, they are less likely to air concerns at work. Accordingly, the facilitation of open and honest conversations is key.
Key Elements:
Over the past twenty years many companies and organizations have invested substantially in diversifying the workforce. In many instances, these efforts have increased the number of women and minority employees at work. But recruiting diverse employees is of limited value if you are not able to retain them. The most critical factor in employee satisfaction and retention is to make employees feel both included and engaged. This program outlines the path from mere diversity to inclusion.
Key Elements:
Who knew that Aretha Franklin was giving us sage business advice when she crooned, “All I'm askin' for is a little respect”? Good communication abilities are consistently identified as one of the most important skills for employees and leaders to possess; and feeling respected is the most desired feeling that people want to have in communications. So how does one -• especially in this ever-changing, highly diverse, fast-paced, technology-centric world – communicate in a way that is effective and efficient, yet leaves all participants feeling respected? Quite frankly, it is a skill. One that must be learned and practiced. It differentiates leaders, grows companies, strengthens teams, and increases profits. In most instances when respect is deemed lacking, or offenses occur, it is not because of bad intentions but rather a lack of information. This session is designed to arm attendees with the considerations and tools necessary to avoid these unintended offenses in communications, particularly of those who are different from you.
