Webinar
The September webinar will be co-hosted by the American Institute for Managing Diversity (AIMD). This will be a 90-minute webinar. The topic of the webinar is: "Diversity Management: How Culture and Strategy Intersect". This topic will cover the real, relevant and reoccurring questions around developing a successful road map for understanding your organizational culture, how it intersects with diversity and inclusion efforts, the benefits of the connection and how it leads to long term success.
Ask someone today how they define diversity and you will get a different response from each person you ask - with no two definitions alike. Ask organizations today how they manage diversity and you will receive responses that may range from “increasing awareness of differences through training” to “there is no need to manage diversity –it manages itself!” And what role do organizations’ cultures play in developing a successful strategy?
Understanding the culture of the organization in the diversity management work is similar to powering up your Global Positioning System (GPS) or talking with AAA before starting out on a long trip. It helps you navigate the journey from a strategic base. By powering up your GPS you learn how to diagnose, design and deliver a diversity management road map to success!
Learning Objectives:
· Defining diversity
· Defining Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)
· Phases of Strategic Diversity Management
· Understanding Strategic diversity management
· Understanding Cultural audit and assessments
