The Workplace Diversity workshops can be taken individually, as a customized combination, or as a complete set. Each workshop has 3 sessions of 3 hours each over 3 weeks. The workshop delivery methods will highlight the use of improvisational theatre and include experiential learning activities, discussions, cases, journaling, and workplace applications.
Learning to manage workplace diversity effectively takes substantial development within individuals. As a result, some learners may require or request the services of an executive management coach to support individual double loop learning to increase performance with managing workplace diversity.
