Diversity in the workplace
​
​
Module: CROSSROADS
​
target audience: managers, team leaders, employee
representatives, supervisors
duration: 3 hours
location: Brussels, in-house or off-site
Would you like your workforce to be less homogeneous and more diverse, inclusive and effective, but is your staff struggling to face the growing complexity of our society?
​
This half day workshop is designed to help participants understand the significance and advantages of diversity in the workplace and to raise awareness of stereotyping, bias and assumptions from both unconscious and conscious level.
It provides methods and actions for positively managing prejudices (for both individual and organisational implementation) and teaches how to relate to each other more respectfully as a result. Participants learn equitable practices and how to set ground rules in order to break down barriers to a diverse organisation.
​This workshop stimulates informal exchanges among participants who are encouraged to be self-reflective about their and their organisation’s cultural shaping and power mechanisms. It teaches how to develop strategies and attitudes to enhance effectiveness and business performance of diverse organisations. The ultimate goal is to eliminate discrimination on an individual, group and workplace level, and to ensure equality and a performant workplace for all.

Diversity to Business (D2B)
This workshop is designed to help participants set their mind on global growth via the diversification of products & services, thoughts and staff. It teaches them about the commercial consequences of fixed mindsets, and how to infuse diverse behaviourism into their company culture.
Do you want to tap into new markets, catch up with rapidly shifting demographics and the continued globalisation while enhancing business performance?
