Overview
Major league
baseball broke the color barrier not because of social consciousness but because
they could no longer ignore the talented black players who performed so
superbly. This course will teach you how to work with senior management in your
organization as an internal consultant to focus on performance measurements and
issues that will help create and retain a diverse and productive workforce. The
objectives of this course are to help you identify the essential elements that
must be present and to develop practical strategic and tactical plans to help it
become so focused on performance that issues such as ethnicity, gender, age,
etc. have no place in the decision of “who plays.”
This course
provides practical and easy-to-follow guidance for leaders who want to help
create and retain a more inclusive and productive workforce in their
organization. Systematic guidance helps users develop a business case for
organizational change by teaching them how to calculate the return of investment
(ROI) on reduced turnover, measure their current organizational situation, and
to develop an action plan to “brand” their organization as an employer of
choice. The objective of this course is to provide guidance to motivated
individuals who want to take an active part in improving the productive
environment at their workplace.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty-five (35)
questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
