Consultation
Diversity is valued for bringing a balance in perspective, talents, and strengths to the work environment. Understanding and embracing the contributions people from different backgrounds and ideologies bring is an important step in fostering a more creative, inclusive, respectful and productive workforce and workplace. Maintaining excellence in the workforce requires an organization to move beyond a ‘desegregated discrimination free’ workplace to one that is intentionally designed to be culturally pluralistic. Thus, inclusion and diversity training must be democratically flexible to meet the demands of culturally diverse work environments.
