Cornell University Brings Its  Second Series of Diversity    Management Workshops to Boston

               Boston, Feb. 11, 2010 — Boston’s Diversity Staffing Pros, LLC is positioning itself as the premier leader in helping Boston's most dedicated diversity and human resources professionals gain valuable academic knowledge, and real-world experience. In September, the company offered the first tier of Cornell University’s Diversity Management Workshops and upon their success it is now offering a second series of Workshops starting on February 18.

“Today's increasing globalization requires more and more interaction between people from different cultures, so capitalizing on workplace diversity has become a vital issue for management today and everyone needs to be a part of it”, said Kim Dukes-Rivers, of Diversity Staffing Pros, LLC who has more than ten years of proven leadership providing strategic diversity recruitment expertise. And what better way to do that  than attending one of Cornell University’s Diversity Management Workshops in Boston.

Cornell is one of the nation's first universities to develop and promote diversity programs and has extensive expertise in diversity and inclusion initiatives. It pioneered by offering training that meets the developmental needs of diversity professionals in acquiring strategies that connect diversity to organizational performance. “We are very happy to have entered into an ongoing, productive relationship with Diversity Staffing Pros, as we have been able to work together to offer the Diversity Management Workshops in the Boston area for the first time,” states Laura S. Hertzog, Esq., Director of Cornell EEO/Diversity & Inclusion Programs.

The classes will be offered for one full day each from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will extensively use case studies throughout. Necessary course materials will be provided at no additional cost to all participants. Classes are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and interested parties, both companies and individuals, are encouraged to reserve their places as soon as possible.

Diversity training is changing dramatically, by becoming more and more important on the corporate agenda. Today, companies are moving beyond just diversity awareness training by focusing on providing management with precise skills that are intended to attract and retain a diverse workforce. So there is no better time like the present to attend Cornell’s Diversity Management Workshops.
