Comprehensive Diversity Training in the Workplace - Instructor-Led

• Diversity Training equips participants to create a safe and cooperative working environment


• 
  
  
  This diversity training course covers an introduction to diverse group characteristics and definitions, such as cultural, disability, gender, age, and sexual orientation. While some organizations and governmental departments call this type of class, 'Sensitivity Training,' we refer to it as our General Diversity Training course. Participants are introduced to the business case for leveraging diversity and how to identify their individual conflict resolution style, and how their style might differ from that of others.
  
• Our general diversity curriculum class is available onsite or online. Our online classes are customized for your company or organization. Please allow lead time for development or consider scheduling an individual remote training session with our diversity coach.

Looking for an affordable way to train or coach a few key staff on diversity-related topics?


Diversity Builder offers remote/virtual training and coaching by one of our trainers. Employers have found the remote coaching option to be both cost-effective and time efficient. Diversity Builder clients have used offsite and remote coaching for the following situations:


• A company hires a new supervisor who has not yet completed the corporate diversity training program onsite. Rather than incurring travel expenses and lost work time, the company opts to send the supervisor to a remote/online class with a dedicated trainer.
  
  
• An individual/employee violates a company discrimination policy or code of conduct related to diversity or sensitivity. Examples include sending inappropriate emails, discriminating against a protected class, harrassing another staff member, telling inappropriate jokes, verbalizing a racial slure, or using inappropriate language at work. Sometimes the training is part of a performance management program or is court-ordered as a result of sentencing. The company sends this employee to a diversity coaching session specific to the incident(s). Sometimes sensitivity training is required/mandated by the state or federal government when an incident occurs. Upon successful completion of individual training, Diversity Builder issues a certificate of completion that satisfies the requirement of diversity or sensitivity training for an individual staff member.
  
  
• A company wants to offer additional courses to its employees as a benefit. Employees select the coaching/training they wish to attend. Choices include sexual harassment prevention, conflict resolution, interviewing techniques, hiring practices that promote diversity, or new supervisor training.
  
  *Online remote training is a great solution for employee coaching or performance management.

  The Business Case for Diversity Training in the Workplace
  
  Diversity in the workplace education is quickly becoming recognized as a low cost, high return value for corporations and small businesses. More than just "inclusion," a commitment to work place diversity training helps businesses create a satisfactory, safe and meaningful environment in which people thrive. Through diversity workplace programs inclusive of human characteristics such as race, spirituality, gender, sexual orientation or status as a disabled person, companies demonstrate to their employees that they are seen, recognized and valued. Essentially, successful companies harness workplace diversity and allow their business to attract and retain quality staff. This translates into willingness by employees to expend greater effort and apply greater creativity in their jobs.
