Diversity in the workplace is more than just trying to get along and work together productively. It is a strategy for the survival of your company. The company can hire people from different groups, establish policy and make available training courses like this one. They cannot however create the diverse environment we would all like to work in. We are the only ones who can do that.
Diversity is more of an attitude that it is a list of actions.
It is a sensitivity toward people who are different from ourselves. It is also comes naturally to us when we allow it to happen. Early on in the course we discussed the way our minds work. We talked about discrimination and stereotypes. We learned that actual experience with a person takes us beyond the stereotypes associated with the group they belong to.
