If you were asked about diversity in your workplace, you might respond by thinking about groups of employees based on their culture, gender, race or even age.  But, that doesn’t tell the whole story.  We all come to the workplace with different experiences and backgrounds.  This awareness paints a broader perspective of diversity.  Using this filter, you might now expand your answer to include other differences such as educational background, parental status, or even geographic location.

In its simplest form, diversity impacts both how people view themselves as well as how they perceive others.  Those perceptions affect their interactions and in turn can impact organizational performance, motivation and success. 

Join us for this complimentary webinar to discover how diversity impacts the workplace and ways you can start to build positive, productive relationships at work.
