This program will enable our managers and executives to acquire the necessary skills to develop workplace diversity as an organizational advantage, said Lachance. A fully diverse federal work force fortifies our nation, fostering better communication and service to the public, and by providing role models for our children. Recent studies of private sector companies have highlighted the importance of diversity as a strategic corporate asset, resulting in better customer service, increased market share, and greater profits. OPM Deputy Director, John Sepulveda, and other government leaders will be among the speakers who will discuss national diversity policy during the seminar. The training will also be conducted throughout the year at the Centers in Shepherdstown, West Virginia and Denver, Colorado.
