They should acknowledge and respect cultural differences, interpret behavior correctly, explain expectations and use specific motivational techniques.

This training includes cultural awareness and language instruction. Effectiveness in a supervisory role is linked to one's ability to manage people who are different. Diversity training seeks to eliminate values, stereotypes, and managerial practices that inhibit employees' personal development and therefore allow employees to contribute to organizational goals regardless of their race, sexual orientation, religious orientation, and cultural background. Supervisors want to effectively utilize all the resources in the organization's labor pool . Diversity among individuals encompasses not only obvious differences such as age, gender, race, and culture, but also more subtle dimensions such as work style, life-style, values, beliefs, physical characteristics, social and economic circumstances.
