Key tips include:

  • Take the time to do it right
  • Strengthen relationships and cultivate inclusion
  • Seek out diversity of thought
  • Better ideas and more innovation

The Long-Term Play of Diversity Training

 

Richard Miller's main takeaway:

“Ultimately, there is both a moral and business incentive to enhance the diversity of your workplace. However, achieving greater diversity is a long road and requires correct actions at almost every stage of the hiring and management process. As time goes on, a more inclusive workplace and diverse workforce will be able to help manage and perpetuate itself. Of course, the more you invest in this effort, the more return you will see, but it must be genuine and done with total commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion for all.”

We also have our very own Developing Diverse Teams course that can help you understand the cultural influences as you attempt to build harmonious and productive work units. It offers a way to learn how to build a team that encourages mutual accountability, trust, problem-solving, conflict management, and an appreciation for the unique contributions of all.
