Different People Results in Creativity and Better Performance

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

First time managers and top talent at all levels in the organization that want to learn or improve their cultural management competency so that they can get the very best results from their leadership, teams and colleagues in pursuit of maximum effectiveness, efficiency and great results.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

An effective organisation is one which recognises and maximises the differences that exist within individuals whether they be age, sexual orientation, gender, race or disability.

Managing Cultural Diversity is an intensive one day training course that explores the issues surrounding diversity in the workplace, the legislation that exists and that which doesn’t, best practice and the benefits that a diverse workforce can bring to your organisation.

The program gives particular attention to organisation (you and others), multitasking, negotiating, communicating and change as it is these areas that we often find working with different people fail.  The program takes a holistic view and introduces the delegate to the knowledge, skills and attitude required to behave effectively and confidently as a great staff member that contributes significantly to their organisation’s community and growth.

The program is well researched, knowledge-based and designed with the individual learner at the centre of the learning process which means that the course is extremely interactive and practical.
