Description:-

• Cultivating a work environment characterized by cultural competence is critical for success in the modern business environment, and doing so requires an organization-wide focus on overcoming barriers to a truly inclusive work environment – across all dimensions of diversity.
• Today’s workforce is more diverse now than it has ever been in the past, and is likely to continue to become more and more diverse in the future. Organizations and individual professionals are well-served by striving to create inclusive work environments where diversity is truly welcomed and people are valued because of their unique contributions and individual differences – not in spite of them. Not only does this lead to a positive organizational culture and help boost team cohesiveness, it can also lead to powerful innovations and create competitive advantage.
• Unfortunately, it is common for barriers to diversity and inclusion to exist in the workplace. Cultural competence is the key to overcoming these barriers and creating a culture where inclusion becomes the norm.
