Businesses Recognize the Benefits of Workforce Diversity Training
As organizations both large and small face an increasingly global and dispersed workplace, there is growing recognition of business-focused reasons for valuing diversity.
For Immediate Release
San Francisco, CA, June 26, 2007 --
“Workplace diversity is now seen as an essential part of business because of its demonstrable connection to an organization’s success,” says Lynn D. Lieber, a seasoned employment law attorney and nationally recognized spokeswoman on workplace ethics and discrimination. “It is more important than ever to educate your organization on emerging issues, trends and the ways that diversity benefits everyone – your employees, your customers and your bottom line.”
Lieber’s San Francisco company, Workplace Answers, Inc., has produced an all-new training program designed to help organizations understand the categories, characteristics and business benefits of workforce diversity.
The Business Benefits of Diversity begins by examining traditional stereotypes in detail, including frequently misunderstood transgender issues and the complex areas of color-based prejudice among people of the same race. Workplace Answers’ training goes beyond the traditional diversity categories and identifies emerging and seldom-understood areas such as height and weight, deaf culture, sexual identity and body modifications such as tattoos and piercing.
An exclusive feature of the courses is the Workplace Answers Model of Diversity™ that approaches the concept of diversity using a legal lens and reinforces harassment prevention efforts to minimize potential liability. Using thought-provoking scenarios and compelling interactions to engage learners, the course delivers business-focused reasons for valuing diversity, such as attracting top employee talent, better serving clients and customers and increasing participation by staff at all levels.
