Program Description
Diversity, according to the dictionary, means "difference" or "variety." So the term diverse workforce refers to a workforce where the group members and associates have a variety of different characteristics. By becoming aware of today’s diversity and its impact on you as a professional leader/manager, you can learn effective ways of dealing with prospective issues appropriately.
Diversity management is about creating inclusion. This course is not only designed to help you become aware of some of the major changes in today’s workforce, but also to give you some of the skills needed to maximize productivity and gain a competitive advantage through a diverse and inclusive workforce.
