Discovering Diversity Profile^®

Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in growing workforce diversity. Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don't share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today's workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behavior toward people who are different from themselves. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation.

 Designed to help individuals look honestly at themselves to identify attitudes and behavior that stand in the way of teamwork, the Discovering Diversity Profile^® provides a safe way to explore the complex, powerful issues surrounding diversity.

• Knowledge: Discover what they actually know about differences by looking at stereotypes and at the source of their knowledge or information;
• Understanding: Decipher their level of awareness and explore their willingness to put themselves in a position to feel what others may be feeling;
• Acceptance: Examine their patience and regard for respecting different beliefs and behaviors; and
• Behavior: Assess how they act out their attitudes toward others, their flexibility and openness in dealing with others, and their self-awareness of patterns of interaction.
