Don’t think that these issues are far removed from your organization. When managers and employees are not properly trained and prepared for workplace issues, companies could face discrimination suits, litigation, settlements, lawyer fees, unplanned expenses, employee turnover, morale issues, and a possible negative community image.
Sensitivity training teaches managers and employees how to respect, recognize, and appreciate cultural differences in the workplace. The training also encourages tolerance, as well as removes stereotypes, which can improve employee focus and productivity, adding to your organization’s bottom line. Additionally, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recommends diversity training to confirm that companies are compliant with federal laws.
