Workforce diversity in the 21st century focuses less on what group a person is identified with and more on everyone’s unique perspectives. This workshop is intended to increase participants’ awareness of diversity issues in the workplace as well as their acceptance and appreciation of the unique perspectives and backgrounds of others.

Participants will learn to identify and examine their stereotypes and prejudices and how they may influence behaviors and responses. Learn how accepting diversity can help remove barriers and create a successful environment. Participants will identify ways to promote respect and dignity for others.
