Discovering Diversity Profile®
|
Our increasingly diverse
society is reflected in
growing workforce diversity.
Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully
with others who don't share the
same background, beliefs or
traditions is a top priority in the
new workplace. Employees
need help in assessing their
behavior toward people who
are different from themselves.
And they must understand the
benefits of changing negative-
attitudes and resistance into
appreciation and cooperation
Designed to help individuals
look honestly at themselves to
identify attitudes and behavior
that stands in the way of
teamwork, the Discovering
Diversity Profile® provides a
safe way to explore complex,
powerful issues.
Build a Bridge to
Understanding
The Discovering Diversity
Profile® is completely
confidential, and an effective
tool to help employees explore
diversity in the following
key areas:
- Knowledge: discover what they
actually know about differences
by looking at stereotypes, as
well as the source of that
knowledge or information.
- Understanding: decipher
their level of awareness and
explore their willingness to put
themselves in a position to feel
what others may be feeling.
- Acceptance: tolerance examines
their patience and regard for
respecting different beliefs and
behaviors.
- Behavior: interpersonal skill
assesses how they act out their
attitudes toward others, their
flexibility and openness in
dealing with others and their
self-awareness of patterns
of interaction.
