Diversity and Multiculturalism Training

Providing diversity training to employees and managers is a critical component of any diversity initiative. It helps organizations to:

  • Build a culture that is empowered by differences
  • Develop effective multicultural teams
  • Recruit and retain a diverse workforce
  • Resolve conflict between employers and employees
  • Reduce employee turnover
  • Promote employee productivity
  • Demonstrate compliance with emerging federal guidelines

Our training programs always include the following basic components:

  • Knowledge needed to function effectively in multicultural environments.
  • Awareness of learned prejudices and fears about differences and how these impact organizational culture and personal and professional relationships.
  • Skills to increase the level of cultural competence, cross-cultural conflict resolution and creative problem solving.
  • Action to develop plans to implement the new knowledge, awareness and skills, on both the individual and organizational levels. Change may start at the individual level, but it is best sustained when it takes place simultaneously at the systemic level.
