Course description
Invisible Differences in the Workplace
For at least the last two decades, organizations across America have implemented programs and strategies designed to create an environment where employees recognize and value one another's unique differences and are therefore better able to work with each other as well as serve the diverse communities where our clients live. Our ability to provide positive connections and to remain inoffensive is often dependent on appreciating and respecting these differences. Unfortunately, sometimes our differences are subtle and even invisible.
In this program we will explore the principles of diversity that enable us to value and respect both the visible and invisible differences that represent the strengths, experiences, and unique skills of each and every individual. Participants will learn the skill of people agility, or how to approach people with an attitude of openness, curiosity, appreciation and respect.
