Diversity: Valuing the Individual (half-day)

Individual differences in the workplace must be nurtured and respected. Sometimes that is easier said than done. How do you coach workers not only to respect their colleagues and the traits each individual possesses, but also seek out those co-workers as team members? How do you teach everyone to get along? In this workshop you will discover the foundation for understanding Diversity and develop skills for working in groups of diverse individuals, including:

• The characteristics of essential value
  
• Individual perceptions, values, and assumptions
  
• The impact of sterotyping
  
• Unique contributions
  
• Communicating effectively about diversity
  
• Becoming "change agents"
  

The uniqueness of the individual is what brings strength to the team.

Managing Diversity (supervisor half-day)

This workshop will help managers align their thinking with successful companies who recognize and cultivate the power of diversity. You will be able to astutely observe the differences between individuals and put them to work most effectively for the team. Significant components of this workshop include:

• The five skills for managing diversity
  
• Taking action and overcoming barriers
