Diversity (Appreciating Diversity or Diversity Awareness)

Employment equity and affirmative action approaches focus on bringing underrepresented groups into the workforce.  Diversity awareness training seeks to create an environment where all differences are valued, and where each employee can develop to his or her potential.  Focusing on diversity reminds us that it is not enough to hire employees from underrepresented groups.  We must also provide an environment where all employees are supported and valued.

In this workshop, we will explore:

• How we define diversity in the workplace
• The benefits of supporting diversity
• The harmful effects of stereotyping
• Challenges in maintaining a diverse and respectful environment

Participants in this workshop will gain an increased sense of the importance of diversity within the workplace, and how to support an inclusive environment for all employees and coworkers.
