WEBINAR SERIES:
BUILDING CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION: WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW TO THRIVE IN THE WORKPLACE
Overview
Recent world happenings, including the Black Lives Matter movement have placed a spotlight on diversity and inclusion. In order to align with the business and socially responsibility case for diversity and inclusion, more and more organizations are working towards repositioning their brands to understand racial bias, promote cultural intelligence and build a workforce that is diverse and inclusive.
Building and working in diverse and inclusive teams requires cultural intelligence as a competency and now is a great time to begin to develop an understanding of it.
Why You Should Attend
The world of work continues to evolve and the skills required to thrive in the workplace go beyond hard skills. One of the ways to excel in the workplace is to understand when changes are happening and how to optimize that change for career growth.
Equipping your clients to thrive in a multicultural work environment is essential, and it starts with you understanding the dynamics of the world of work as we now know it. As a career development practitioner, you need to gain an understanding of cultural intelligence, apply it to your own work and then you will be better equipped to share it with your clients.
