Foundations for Diversity

Patti Yaritz, Principal at Divercities Research & Recruitment, President Research at Turner Management Consulting Group

The ability to manage a diverse workforce will be the difference between success and failure for the 21st century manager. From women, to people of color, to Generation X, to single parents, to the physically challenged, to gay and lesbian employees. We will explore the benefits and challenges of valuing diversity, identify major patterns of cultural differences between minority groups, and help identify the values and beliefs about people who are different from yourself.
