Diversity in the Workplace
Our world is increasingly globalized and the spaces between us are no longer as difficult to cross as they once were. More often you’ll find yourself working with people who might have very different worldviews and experiences than yourself. Many corporations have recognized that diversity contributes to the bottom line by making it easier to retain good employees, lowering costs by developing skills in-house, and developing a reputation that helps attract new employees.
Upon completion of this learning event, employees will demonstrate knowledge of working in a diverse workplace and how they can turn perceived differences to the company’s advantage. Employees will learn to define workplace diversity, recognize the challenges of managing and working with diverse people, and recognize its benefits. This course would be a great training tool for managers and employees alike to educate them over some of the laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Civil Rights 1991, Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
