DIVERSITY & INCLUSION TRAINER & SPEAKER WHAT IS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION? Development of the ability to understand, communicate with and effectively interact with people across different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Inclusion in the workplace occurs in an environment where everyone, from a talent pool of diverse backgrounds, all feel like they belong. WHY IS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IMPORTANT? Paraphrasing Verna Myers, if Diversity is being invited to the party; Inclusion is being asked to dance. In today’s social climate it is now more important than ever to instill in your employees, students, teachers and those in positions of authority to develop:
Cultural awareness through cross-cultural skills. An awareness of one’s own cultural worldview. A positive attitude toward cultural differences. Knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews. Anti-bias and anti-racist practices and worldviews.
