Overview
Diversity, equity and inclusion have taken on an increased importance in the workplace regardless of the size of an organization. Diversity in management has been shown to increase organization revenue by 19%, while diverse companies enjoy 2.3 times higher cash flow per employee. To this end, it’s no surprise that when DEI initiatives are embraced, they often play into the growth and long-term success of a business. Eliminating bias and discrimination in the workplace creates a culture within an organization that supports collaboration, inclusivity and the support of fellow colleagues. However, for many organizations, building cultural and business practices that embrace workplace diversity can still feel elusive. Leaders and employees alike must understand and be able to use strategies for removing barriers and stereotypes to encourage fair and equitable practices in the workplace.
This half-day seminar will help participants understand what DEI means and how each individual can help create a more diverse world at work and in our home communities. Learn to use skills such as active listening, receiver messages, effective questioning techniques: and more to communicate with a more informed and aware level of understanding to encourage and sustain a healthy DEI workplace culture.
