Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in growing workforce diversity. Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don't share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today's workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behavior toward people who are different from themselves. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation. The Discovering Diversity Profile ® allows individuals to explore their own viewpoints on workforce diversity in four key areas, and can help transform resistance into acceptance, cooperation, and respect.
