Inclusion: Awareness in the Workplace

Imagine the change in office morale if we were all able to practice positive, constructive work habits in the workplace and work cooperatively towards a common goal.  If everyone had the skills and confidence to live up to the social contract, contribute to their fullest potential and strive for excellence. 

In this session we share tools to help participants recognize and respect others and their individuality, think before they speak, and be sensitive to others.  Empowering them to talk about their differences and ask tactful questions about how people want to be treated. 

Outcomes can include: 

• The concepts and definitions of diversity, culture, and cultural competency
• The idea of "Cultural Humility"
• The value of awareness and sensitivity to diversity issues that go well beyond the assumed categories
• Appropriate responses to cultures that differ from your own
• Pedersen’s Developmental Model to improve competence
