Institute For Diversity
and Leadership Diversity Audits and Training
Your key to a targeted investment in diversity
training and corporate Interpersonal Improvement in today’s
global economy.
A diversity audit is the first step in fine-tuning your organization
to meet the cultural challenges of today’s business world.
Our trained staff works with you on-site to assess your current
strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities through a combination
of focus groups, on-line
survey, and review of your marketing
materials and internal policies and procedures. The end result
is a report of your organization’s
current overall “health”. With this knowledge your
management can make decisions about specially targeted training
that meets the unique needs of your institution.
Why a Diversity Audit?
It is unlikely that your organization is at “ground zero”
in terms of its diversity awareness. Standard diversity training
that is not geared to the needs and culture of your institution
or company wastes your time and money and can be counterproductive
to your goals. The end result can easily be employee resentment
about having to spend time in “another one of those”
diversity training sessions.
A diversity audit, on the other hand, builds interest in and
awareness of diversity issues. It is also sends a positive message
to employees that management is concerned about the cultural climate
within the organization.
Diversity Training
All companies can benefit from ongoing diversity training.
Diversity awareness is a process, not a place. The key to being
competitive in a global marketplace is using training tailored
to the unique conditions and development within your individual
organization. Diversity training should address many different
levels of awareness. Our staff provides customized training on
many aspects of diversity to different segments within your organization
based on your particular needs and challenges.
Document Review - Marketing
materials and internal policies and procedures may be sending
unintentional messages to both external and internal "clients".
Our review pinpoints threats and opportunities for your printed
documents.
Focus Groups – Our
structured, one-hour focus groups create a comfortable, confidential
setting for employees to express their opinions on various diversity
and corporate climate issues. Participants are usually selected
at random to proportionally represent your employee population.
Management focus groups are separate from general population groups,
but these can be tailored to your particular situation.
Customized Survey – Based
on the results of the focus groups, we create a survey of all
your employees. We prefer to conduct the survey through an on-line
questionaire, but we can also conduct paper surveys. The survey
is completely confidential. Individual responses are not accessible,
but group results can be segmented by gender, age, department,
or other factors you may specify. We create a survey report for
you based on these results.
Diversity Summary - In addition
to the survey results, we prepare an in-depth report on all our
findings. This report uses the SWOT analysis method (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) and provides you with a
complete picture of your corporate cultural health and suggests
ways for your to organization to meet the challenges of a diverse
workplace.
