Diversity Challenges

What Would You Do?

Defining diversity and understanding how to navigate through a diverse workforce are two very different
things.

It is one thing to understand what diversity is, but it's another to hire and manage the human complexities of a diverse workforce.

Whether your organization already started a diversity initiative or you're just beginning to look at the effect diversity has on your productivity, this program is designed to give your organization a chance to discuss some real issues affecting your workforce.

Diversity Challenges: What Would You Do? is an engaging training program designed to stimulate classroom discussion of two challenging, open-ended scenarios.

Put your team to work solving these situations:

The Interview – You interview a candidate who has all the right, hard-to-find skills you need for the job, but he is clearly uncomfortable with your diverse team. The hiring decision is yours. What would you do?

Do I Have to Work With Him? – You teamed up two skilled employees for a big project. Now one wants a new partner claiming she is uncomfortable with their differences. As the deadline approaches, what would you do?

Each scene has two parts:

The Situation shares the storyline and the interesting human dynamics affecting the characters. Then, the video stops and asks the question, “What would you do?”

The Debriefing provides additional insight by allowing participants to hear each of the character’s inner self-talk. This self-talk sheds light on their inner feelings, motivations and backgrounds.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Define key terms: diversity, culture and cultural archives
Identify their personal cultural archives
Examine their personal archives and how they affect communication and workplace relationships
Recognize how differing cultural archives affect communication, relationships and ultimately productivity in the workplace.
