« IET Homepage Diversity: The Value of Mutual Respect How often has your organization lost a valuable employee because of personality or interpersonal conflicts?      This course encourages you to think about your own personality style, provides guidelines and action words to open doors and contains an interactive tool to help you deal with co-workers who "drive you crazy."      This program is a must for all organizations who wish to develop cultural sensitivities with others in order to be able to develop meaningful relationships, sell, market and offer services to different cultures and different race, gender, religion, etc.      This course will help improve your effectiveness by dissolving communication barriers and organizational bottlenecks by making you aware of how your own style of interacting with others affects performance. You will learn how you can work better with your co-workers by recognizing their "personality style" and how it connects with you. Target Audience:      Every individual in your organization should understand workforce diversity (gender, generational, cultural, etc.) through the doorways of their individual personality styles. This understanding will introduce the potential for greater creativity and productivity at work and in an individuals' private lives. Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes:      The heart of the course is our unique personality assessment tool, which enables participants to determine their personality styles. Employees are provided with an assessment of their personality style and most importantly they are provided with positive suggestions as to how to get along better with others. Illustrations show the strengths and vulnerabilities associated with each style. Specific examples are provided to demonstrate that strengths overused can become weaknesses.      The course educates employees that differences between employees in the workplace cause workplace tension and impact on productivity and morale. By modifying behavior when appropriate, employees will be able to maintain constructive relationships and the self-esteem of others.      You will be more likely to be sensitive to "perceptions" of fairness and be able to work more effectively with others.     © 2005 Interactive Employment Training, Inc.
