The Cultural Diversity at Work Program consists of five interactive workshops created to address cultural differences in the workplace and in the community, to reduce intercultural conflict and harassment, to support more inclusive work and community environments, and to utilize the synergistic energy of diversity. Usually a group of 40-50 individuals (employees/supervisors or citizens/volunteers, etc.). participate in all five workshops together over a period of six months to a year. In addition, DiversityWorks, Inc. designs site and situation-specific workshops, retreats, and consulting services to meet the particular diversity education needs of business, industry, and community organizations/agencies.
