Diversity: Race, Ethnicity, Language and Religion Workplace Issues

Stereotypes can be very damaging in a workplace, and unfortunately they can be very common. Stereotypes are often based on misguided notions that groups of people act in certain ways, or that an individual will act in accordance with how we think he should act because he is a member of one of these groups. When we see an individual acting differently than we expect him to, he is the exception to the rule. These generalizations can form powerful barriers between people and prevent them from working effectively together, which ultimately negatively affects both your employer and your customers. Race, Ethnicity, Language and Religion Workplace Issues teaches you how to identify misguided stereotypes and resolve them in order to create a more harmonious and efficient workplace.

Any number of things can give rise to stereotypes, including religion, ethnicity, and culture. Regardless of the source however, all stereotypes can potentially damage your workplace and even have legal ramifications. To address these beliefs, it is important you know how to recognize and question your prejudices. This training lesson gives you the skills needed to achieve these goals. While a harmonious and diverse workplace sounds difficult to achieve, the information presented here will make this task much easier.
