The Change & Diversity Management Workshop is a well-researched programme that aims to assist people to function effectively in a diverse and constant changing work environment. It firstly investigates your specific workplace dynamics and aims to increase the day to day awareness of the change and transformation needed to establish sustainable growth. The programme sets out to undermine the process of social categorization by employing well-researched social psychological principles, i.e. the cognitive process of particularisation; personalising and individuating group members; blurring category boundaries; and heightening the awareness of multi group and super-ordinate group membership.
This workshop should be attended by all employees and it is strongly advised that managers and general employees attend the sessions together, since this will greatly enhance workplace cohesion and tolerance to human difference.
By attending this programme, participants will benefit in the following ways:
They will adjourn to their work environment with heightened awareness of their unique contribution within a larger and diverse environment;
If attended as a work team, they should experience higher levels of productivity and team cohesion;
Due to intra- and interpersonal focus of the programme, employees should experience lower levels of workplace conflict; and
It should increase the emotional intelligence of all attendees...
Workshop Mission:
On completion of this programme participants should be able to promote an impartial and prejudice-free organisational culture that can function effectively within times of continuous change.
Workshop Objectives:
Participants will achieve the workshop mission through achieving the following workshop objectives:
Understand diversity within your work and environmental context
