This interactive session is designed to enable attendees to embrace diversity in the workplace through understanding and respecting others’ differences, as well as increase awareness of their tolerance and sensitivity. Through open and candid discussion and activities, we will explore and assess behavior, personal biases, assumptions and stereotypes. Upon completion of this session, participants will be better equipped to identify and address sensitive situations, demonstrate behaviors and attitudes that are constructive as a member of a diverse team, as well as reduce the potential of discrimination related issues and liabilities.
