This workshop is a one-hour program that prepares individuals who will be members of a diverse team to participate effectively to maximize their contributions to the team by using their collective intelligence toward a common team objective.
We look at team-building issues and diversity not only in relation to race, ethnicity, gender, etc. but also across business functions, geographic areas, and managerial levels and we explore how all these things can affect the workplace and profitability. We will also examine the concepts of cross-cultural communications, cultural diversity, and the challenge of interacting with people who have different cultural backgrounds and experiences.
