Fortunately, you can take several steps to prevent your diversity workshop from flopping. They include:
*Setting ground rules *Strategic Plans *Creating a Diversity Community *Become Involved in the Community
== 3. GROUND RULES CAN HELP CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT: ==
Before you begin the workshop, establish ground rules to make the environment one in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.
*Personal information shared during the workshop remains confidential. *No talking over others. *Disagree respectfully rather than with put-downs or judgmental criticism. *Don’t give feedback to others unless you are asked specifically to do so. *Refrain from making generalizations or invoking stereotypes about groups
Diversity in workforce is growing in all countries. With having more diverse work environment organization can produce better performance. It is important for the companies to know diversity and how to handle the issues relating to it. Also the need of the diverse workforce is getting more not only because there are different people but also because they can produce better results with having different types of people working. Leaders in the organizations should learn diversity (differences of gender, age, sex and religion in their work environment and also to communicate will between them) and how to manage it effectively.
