We have heard "Workforce 2000" so much it is a cliché! Creating a work environment where diversity is valued and honored is not as simple as knowing the numbers or spouting clichés. This workshop will highlight specific actions that Human Resource professionals can take to develop a more diversity-sensitive workplace. The material will focus on:

• What are the three E's of managing diversity;
• How to communicate the value of diversity;
• How to build policies and programs that reinforce diversity-sensitive behaviors;
• How to structure diversity training to open employees' minds and eyes;
• How to "sell" management on the importance of diversity actions; and
• Creating an organization-wide diversity strategy.

Spiced with humor and real-life business experiences, this lively session will help managers and HR professionals deal with this complex subject. The handout packet will include suitable material to use in company training programs.
