Diversity on the Job: The Importance of Diversity And The Changing Workplace New Horizons Lebanon
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 1 Hour

Course details

  • Imagine for a minute that you work in a place where everyone is the same. All of your coworkers are of the same ethnicity, gender, educational background, and socioeconomic standing. Would you be able to easily generate new ideas? Would the group have the ability to understand things from a different point of view? Without diversity in the workplace, organizations run the risk of becoming monocultural and only viewing things from a very limited perspective. The organization provides the structure for operation of the business and often defines the culture, but it's the inpiduals interacting within the organization who carry out the mission of the organization. Rather than address the legal underpinnings and requirements related to persity, this course focuses on how to leverage the diversity that exists within the organization. It defines persity and dispels some common myths that surround the topic of persity. The importance of persity within the ever-changing workplace is described, including the impact of globalization. This course also discusses the barriers and challenges that must be overcome in order to create a persified working environment. Materials designed to support blended learning activities aligned with this course are available from the Resources Page.
