WORKING WITH DIVERSITY |
A starting point |
| "Whilst everyone is focusing on the hard
issues of the moment it can be difficult to lift the face, open
the eyes, use the senses to good effect, be at ease with complexity
and have the confidence and the energy to challenge and be challenged.
What is easily missed is that every organisation has a unique
identity for no other reason than it is a collection of individual
identities. We still rarely hear of the assessment
of business risk including the cost of dissonant communication,
the loss of creativity and knowledge and the benefits of valuing
cultural diversity and difference". Danielle Douglas &
Roger Hurley, Principals, Phoenix HR |
Exploring understanding |
| The assimilation of broad and specific issues
of human rights is no longer an option - it is an imperative.
|
The need |
| Is to gain acceptance and create a sustainable
core of awareness and skills.
|
The risk |
| The risk is failing to identify resistances and
experiencing kneejerk reactions that lead to additional employment costs, low performance
and lost knowledge.
|
The reward is |
| |
Being seen as a values driven and ethical
organisation |
| |
Keeping within the law |
| |
Safeguarding reputation |
| |
Maximising and releasing additional resources |
| |
Improving performance |
| |
Sustainability |
|
