• Low employee engagement

• Lack of innovation or stagnant productivity
• Infighting between groups
• Inability to reach new markets as U.S. demographics change
• Failure to attract or retain diverse talent
• Tardiness and high turnoverDoes Having Diversity in Your Workplace Feel More Like Drama and Less Like Productivity?
In a business world where marketplaces and workforces are becoming more diverse, the traditional mono-culture approach is a drag on productivity and profit; it’s an igniting point for drama. Whether in a marketplace or workforce, diversity is simply a mix of different people, not a catalyst to productivity, unless, your diverse workforce has Cultural Intelligence.
Why Build Cultural Intelligence?
Companies with the most ethnic diversity on their executive team are 43% more likely to experience higher profitability. (McKinsey & Co., 2017)
In this Introductory Workshop, participants will:
• Discover the 5 stages of cultural proficiency that allows the shift from mono-cultural to multicultural mindset
• Learn how the stages impact employee and leader for greater productivity and innovation
