 With our workforce becoming increasingly diverse, encouraging cultural and gender sensitivity and understanding in the workplace is a top priority for businesses and leaders everywhere. Tested with hundreds of participants to ensure the appropriateness and effectiveness for a variety of diversity training needs, the simple activities in this must-read guide will show employees at all levels how to cope with differences and master new skills for communicating more effectively. The Diversity Training Activity Book teaches readers how to: address work-related frustrations with coworkers of different backgrounds; manage a culturally diverse team; deal with issues of gender in the workplace; and understand differences in dress, appearance, and social customs--and how to be respectful of them. Conflict resolution in the workplace is just as important as ever--but cultural barriers present new challenges to overcoming workplace disagreements. Filled with activities, role-playing exercises, sample icebreakers, and case studies, this invaluable diversity training book will help all employees build a more collaborative, harmonious, open workplace culture.
