Managing Diversity: We Are in This Together with Carlene Szostak
What You Will Learn
Upon completion of this training, learners will be able to:
- Discuss the importance of acceptance and inclusion.
- Describe the value in diversity.
- Demonstrate being more in tune to the "human" factor of projects.
Description
Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize poor engagement is directly derailing your project and causing you frustration?
Every employee brings unique strengths to the workplace, but knowing how to embrace both the differences and strengths, while remaining focused on project goals, is an art we all need to master in the 21st century. Embracing diversity and inclusion has become an overriding focus for organizations that wish to succeed in today's business world.
This training emphasizes diversity is far more than discussing harassment and discrimination. In the end, the key to delivering any project successfully comes down to the “human” factor. Seeking out diversity and understanding inclusion leads to accepting and embracing all the diverse traits, beliefs, talents, knowledge, styles, and experiences employees bring to the workplace, regardless of a legal obligation to do so.
