  • deal with issues of gender in the workplace;
  • understand differences in dress, appearance, and social customs--and how to be respectful of them,

From the Back Cover



As you know all too well, common differences among people--age, gender, race, ethnicity--can prevent even the most talented and dedicated employees from working together. Today, the success of nearly every business depends on overcoming generation gaps, gender biases, and multicultural misunderstandings. How can you effectively deal with these sensitive issues without reinforcing stereotypes and further alienating your diverse employees?

You'll find the answer--in fact, an array of answers--in The Diversity Training Activity Book. This user-friendly guide presents a collection of 50 exercises, developed by two respected diversity trainers and tested on hundreds of workshop participants throughout the United States and Canada. From icebreakers, like "Name That Feeling," to mini-case studies, role plays, and group games, these short and simple activities confront diversity challenges in a highly engaging, non-confrontational way. Participants will not only examine their assumptions and expectations about other cultures, but also become more aware of their own cultural values, beliefs, styles, habits, and attitudes. While learning with coworkers from wide-ranging backgrounds and perspectives, they'll grow in empathy and master the critical skills to:

- Minimize miscommunication and misinterpretation.

- Understand differences in dress, demeanor, and social customs.

- Respect different senses of space and time-consciousness.

- Maximize the unique resources of female and older workers.

- Manage a culturally diverse and changing workforce.

- Identify intercultural incidents and resolve intercultural conflicts.

Every exercise comes with complete trainer instructions. You'll also get materials you can easily modify for use as handouts or PowerPoint presentations. With The Diversity Training Activity Book, you can design a lunch-hour seminar or a weekend retreat that will make a positive difference in your diverse workplace. Before long, you'll break down barriers and open minds to working together productively and harmoniously.
