Diversity Awareness

The Diversity Awareness workshop uses the Discovering Diversity ProfileŽ to help employees learn how they respond to workforce diversity issues and where they need to develop increased understanding. This self-directed learning instrument provides a safe, confidential way for employees to explore the complex issues surrounding diversity.

Participants are guided through a confidential interpretation process that identifies their present attitudes about workforce diversity. They quickly assess their level of comfort - or discomfort - with differences by using a simple feedback grid that corresponds to the four diversity areas. Current feelings, opinions, knowledge, and skills are pinpointed. The impact of individual comfort level on workplace effectiveness is clarified, and specific suggestions for improving individual understanding of diverse groups are offered.

After this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Discover their personal comfort level with people who are different from themselves.
  • Understand the impact of their behavior on others.
  • Assess the accuracy of their knowledge about differences.
  • Limit the influence of stereotypes.
  • Reduce conflict.
  • Transform knowledge into acceptance and empathy.
