WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Are you looking to increase your ability to effectively recruit and retain diverse staff? 

This interactive workshop offers the opportunity to examine our beliefs, strengthen our cultural competence skills, and practice applying our skills to real work scenarios.  Come participate in exercises that help integrate cultural competence and equity into your HR, management, and supervision toolbox. 

The specific content of this session focuses on staff of color, with exercises and tools to take home that can be applied to other aspects of diversity (age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, etc.).  This workshop assumes participants already have a basic understanding of cultural competence, equity, privilege, power, racism, classism, etc. 

The emphasis of this workshop is on how we can apply our understanding of these concepts to increase our ability to recruit and retain diverse staff.  Participants leave the session with goals and tools to implement. 

(This workshop has been designed for HR professionals, supervisory and management staff.)
