Is It Bias? Makling Diversity Work

The practical bias-reduction strategies in this course have grown out of Dr. Sondra Thiederman's 25 years of experience in the workplace diversity field. The material is based on her book, Making Diversity Work: Seven Steps for Defeating Bias in the Workplace.

Bias costs organizations billions in lost productivity, high turnover, and low morale, not to mention the risk of expensive litigation.

Getting rid of bias is within our control. It is not a mystery. It is a choice and we each have the power to make that choice.

This DVD-based course, featuring Dr. Sondra Thiederman, targets the more subtle forms of bias that insidiously undermine our ability to build truly inclusive workplaces.

Is It Bias? Making Diversity Work can become the cornerstone for new training initiatives in diversity and inclusion or to enhance your existing curriculum.

The course is designed to provide:
• Skills for identifying bias in oneself and others.
• Immediately applicable tools for both reducing biases and controlling their impact on how we treat people who are different from ourselves.
• Practical strategies to help managers deal with subtle and unconscious bias in the workplace.
• Awareness that we each have the power and the responsibility to spot biases in our thinking and, in turn, to control the inappropriate behaviors that those biased attitudes create.

Course Package includes:
DVD:
o Is It Bias? Making Diversity Work (17-minute video)
o Bias Reduction: Taking It to the Next Step (4 commentaries, 17 minutes)
o How to Deal with Bias as a Manager (2 vignettes)

Wealth Innovation & Diversity by Joel Barker

Wealth Innovation & Diversity takes you on a journey to understand a fundamental truth: Without diversity, there can be no innovation; without innovation there can be no new wealth. In other words, diversity is not just the right thing to do, it's your source of greatest potential.

Hosted by the best-selling author Joel Barker, Wealth, Innovation & Diversity contends that your organization will experience long-lasting success only when you hire, promote and encourage people different than yourself.

Barker shares how organizations that do not reap the benefits of diversity are destined to stagnate and eventually . . . fail. He draws from history, science and business, against such backdrops as Machu Picchu's ruins, a farm in Ireland, skyscrapers in Singapore, and the forests and plains of America.

Wealth, Innovation & Diversity will prove to be a broad-based foundational program for many of your training needs. The video is fully supported by comprehensive support materials created to offer flexible learning options to meet a wide range of needs. Included are five All-At-Once Viewing Options, as well as a a ready-to-use, customizable workshop that can be conducted in one 3-hour or three 1-hour sessions.

Materials include a step-by-step facilitator guide, workbooks and reusable session materials on CD-ROM. Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video and support materials are also available to license for company intranet access. A turn-key diversity training package with many options.

Key Learning Points:

A new understanding of the value of diversity.
The connection diversity has to innovation and wealth.
What mutualism is and why it is so important to your future.
Why diversity is a natural and vital part of our universe.

A cost-effective way to train hundreds of people, the Generations and Work Series is the culmination of 25 years of research by Claire Raines, co-author of Generations at Work and seven other books about the generations, supported by compelling real-world inquiry from award-winning producer Tarek Chacra.

Workplace and on-the-street interviews, vignettes, and expert commentaries address such topics as coaching, work processes, technology, feedback, change, productivity, and sales.

Not just another plug-and-play video, Generations and Work engages viewers in a fresh new way by involving them in 15 screening activities. Facilitator Joe Tabano interacts directly with viewers, prompting them to answer questions, join in conversations, and participate in learning activities where they apply what they have learned to their own work situations.

At its heart, Generations and Work is about accepting people who are different and interacting with them in ways that increase satisfaction and productivity.

People

People is a visually engaging 4-minute launching point to any session you're conducting. It's a video that won't interfere with the skills you teach; it only reinforces what you've already developed.

People was originally inspired by a mere three lines from a poem, and was more recently impassioned by observing the outpouring of global humanity after the unfortunate tragedies of our new century.

It's interesting to observe how the world drops all of its prejudices and differences and rushes to the aid of those in need, regardless of race, religion, country or political differences during times and events such as these.

People beautifully illustrates the potential of these universal human traits of kindness, generosity, and respect in our workplaces. This powerful, 4-minute video gets to the heart of the one thing that unites all people on earth. This one thing is the key to success in all our relationships.

Find out what this one thing is - Preview People today! You've never seen anything quite like it. It is NOT a meeting opener. It is a session anchor, an essential tool for every program you conduct.

People Training Package Includes:

4-minute session anchor video
Effective People Skills Book, 124 pages
Participant Handouts, 20 pages
Suggested Uses for facilitator & one sample training design
CD with handouts & training design

OUCH! THAT STEREOTYPE HURTS

Why is OUCH! important?

Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing.

What does OUCH! do?

In a unique and powerful way, viewers will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt.

OUCH! Learning Objectives:

â¢

Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said.

â¢

Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes.

â¢

The skills of Dialogue - Suspension (of judgment, decision making and status)
Listening (with empathy, for understanding, showing you care)

We see a dramatization that demonstrates how dialogue can be used to open communication, uncover hidden assumptions, break down stereotypes and facilitate more productive relationships.

Program 3. Dialogue between Genders.

A dramatized dialogue shows us how the skills we learned in Program 1 can be used to overcome misunderstandings, break down gender stereotypes and improve communications between men and women at work.

Program 4. Dialogue among Generations.

We demonstrate how the skills of dialogue can be used to bridge the personal and professional style differences that exist between employees of different ages.
We uncover how divergent personal and world views common to people of different generations can lead to misunderstandings and distrust and how dialogue can help overcome age barriers and build more productive workplace relationships.
