Each meeting improves our communication skills, teaches us to really hear another's perspective or cultural programming, and helps us to realize it is a safe environment to share some sensitive issues. I look forward to our meetings. As the environment becomes increasingly multi-cultural, organizations need to search for ways different ethnic, racial, gender and other groups can communicate more effectively. Diversity Dialogue Groups are small, heterogenous groups of five to seven people who meet on a regular basis to learn about differences through dialogue. Participants engage in open and frank discussions about assumptions, stereotypes, and individual perc eptions of differences.
Members come together and deal with hard issues and find their own answers.
The Diversity Dialogue Group process helps build trust and understanding between individuals and groups. As individual employees and teams are strengthened , the organization as a whole will be strengthened and made more productive.
