Managing a Diverse Workforce

Managers of today are required to lead in a rapidly transforming world of work. The world has gotten smaller, globalization has taken hold and demographics continue to shift. Remaining resilient during this century and beyond will require a fresh perspective blending multiple generations and cultures.
 
Organizations find enormous benefit in utilizing teams to effectively manage workflow. This creates a need to understand diversity beyond the traditional concept. It is time to look beyond diversity. A new set of tools are needed to blend multiple generations and cultures to assure business success.
 
Here's what you will learn:
* The workforce of today and beyond
* Understanding resistance to diversity
* Discovering workforce needs
* Utilizing commonalities in a diverse workforce
* Communicating in a cross cultural/generational era
 
Key "take-aways" from this program:
* Understanding the benefits of looking beyond diversity
* Learning to manage and communicate without personal bias
* Effectively utilizing diverse teams
* Bridging generations through effective communication
