Topics:      Tips and Traps on Diversity in Today's                           Workplace

The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique while recognizing individual differences.  These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs or other ideologies.
 
Diversity in the population, the workforce, and the marketplace is a fact of life no manager can afford to ignore.

•  Stages of Diversity Awareness
•  Leveraging Diversity
•  Managing diversity today – recruiting, training, valuing, maximizing            potential of people
