Overview

Valuing diversity is critical to individual, team, and organizational effectiveness. Organizations have the opportunity to focus on inclusive behaviors of valuing differences, harassment-free interaction, respectful behavior, and communication.  Employees will value an organizational culture which includes not only respecting race, gender, ability, and physical differences mandated by law but also respecting a broad range of human differences. This workshop integrates diversity and behavioral concepts to present an image of how respectful behavior can be a positive force in the workplace
